Xeon X5687 vs Xeon E3-1225 V2 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E3-1225 V2 is faster than the Xeon X5687. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5687 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon X5687 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1225 V2. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Xeon X5687 also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Xeon X5687 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
