i5-4670k to Xeon E3-1220/1225 V3

Shou Miko · Dec 5, 2013

i am thinking about trying out a Xeon E3-1220/1225 V3 processor instead of my i5 cpu, i am doing some encoding from time to time and it's over the cpu and i only clock my i5-4570k to 4ghz.

would it be a bad choice for upgrading even i do game the most?

Yes it would be a bad choice because your i5 @ stock speeds is faster than the mentioned xeons, sorry

Speaking of Xeons, is €110 for a new E3-1220 a good deal?

so overall even with HT and a bigger cache my i5 would be stronger?

Yes your i5 is about 3% faster than the 1225 V3

Those Xeons doesn't have HT.

lol yeah, having too much to do at work, and i was thinking about they was the one with HT but they only got 8mb cache vs. 6mb haha lol, i was meant to look at the HT models :oops:

so that has to be the E3-1230 V3 instead ^^;

It would make much more sense to get a full HT CPU like the 4770K, it's not like Xeons have any advantage over standard i5/i7 in what you are planning to do.

Does 4670K is not enough for you?

some of the things i do, i somethings think it would go faster with more threads

well i can understand a bit, i went from a i5-2400 to a Xeon E3-1275v2 (SB to IB tho) ingame it doesn't change a thing or not that much, for encoding or WCG crunching it was worth it.
still if i had a i5-4670K i would not go for one of those you mentioned or at last the equivalent Xeon of the i7-4770K or a 4770K (IE: E3-1270v3)

for me it was a upgrade for you its a not necessary upgrade, if OC'ed a 4670K will be more efficient, as the Xeon is multiplier locked.

the E3-1275v2 is the workstation type of the i7-3770 with stock frequencies of the i7-3770K, i just happened to get the E3 way cheaper than a i7-3770K (in my etailer website list the 1275v2 is ~100chf more than the i7-3770K)
