Released April, 2011
Intel Xeon E3-1220
- 3.1 GHz
- Quad core
5.4 Out of 10
Reasons to buy the E3-1220
| | Much higher clock speed 3.1 GHz | | Much better PassMark (Single core) score 1,722 |
| | Much better overclocked clock speed (Air) 3.49 GHz | | Much better overclocked clock speed (Water) 3.1 GHz |
by Ian-Cutress (Nov, 2014)High floating point performance, MHz and IPC wins in the single thread version, whereas the multithread version has to handle the threads and loves more cores.
