Intel Core i5-4460 vs Intel Xeon E5-2687W

Core i5-4460 vs Xeon E5-2687W benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2687W performs better than the Core i5-4460. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4460 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 i5-4460 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4460. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4460 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2687W. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2687W has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4460 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-4460. The Xeon E5-2687W also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i5-4460 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
