Core i5-4440S vs Xeon X5687 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon X5687 performs better than the Core i5-4440S. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4440S in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon X5687 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4440S. Also, the Xeon X5687 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4440S CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5687 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i5-4440S has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
