Core i5-4440 vs Xeon E5-2687W specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2687W is faster than the Core i5-4440. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4440 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2687W has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-4440 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4440. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2687W has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4440. Also, the Xeon E5-2687W has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4440 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2687W CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-4440 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
