Xeon W3580 vs Core i3-4340 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-4340 beats the Xeon W3580 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W3580 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon W3580 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-4340. Indeed, the Xeon W3580 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-4340. It also has more threads than the Core i3-4340. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-4340 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon W3580. The Core i3-4340 outputs less heat than Xeon W3580 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Xeon W3580 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
