Solution kanewolf Jan 7, 2017 Xeons, by default are not overclock friendly, so the "K" portion is not equivalent. All the E3 Xeons that have similar clock speeds are hyperthreaded which makes them i7 equivalents. The closest I found is this -- http://ark.intel.com/products/88168/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E3-1225-v5-8M-Cache-3_30-GHz
