Intel Xeon E5-4620 v3 vs Intel Xeon E3-1285 v4: comparison

Comparison of Intel Xeon E5-4620 v3 and Intel Xeon E3-1285 v4: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Xeon E5-4620 v3 has more cores (10 vs 4), more threads (20 vs 8), a higher maximum memory size (768 GB vs 32 GB) and more memory channels (4 vs 2).

At the same time, Intel Xeon E3-1285 v4 has a higher base clock (3.5 GHz vs 2 GHz), a higher maximum clock (3.8 GHz vs 2.6 GHz), a lower TDP (95 W vs 105 W) and a finer process node (14 nm vs 22 nm).

Both processors match on: PCIe version (3).

These are specification values: they show differences between the models but do not determine a performance winner. For a specific workload, rely on independent benchmarks.
