Xeon E5-2651 v2 vs Core i3-3217U


Description
Both models E5-2651 v2 and i3-3217U are based on Ivy Bridge architecture.

"Ivy Bridge is the last Intel microarchitecture for which there is official driver support for Windows XP . It is made under 22 nm Tri-Gate transistor (""3D"") technology and is basically a Sandy Bridge shrink. It has PCI Express 3.0 support and RdRand instruction for security tasks."

Using the multithread performance as a reference, the E5-2651 v2 gets a score of 426.2 k points while the i3-3217U gets 35.8 k points.

Summarizing, the E5-2651 v2 is 11.9 times faster than the i3-3217U . To get a proper comparison between both models, take a look to the data shown below.

SSE3 optimized benchmark
The benchmark in mode I (SSE) is optimized for the use of SIMD instructions with 128 bits register and the SSE set up to version 3. Nearly every modern CPU has support for this mode.
