Intel Core i5-4460S vs Intel Xeon E5-649

Core i5-4460S vs Xeon E5-649 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-649 beats the Core i5-4460S in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-4460S has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-649 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-4460S. Indeed, the Xeon E5-649 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-4460S. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4460S. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4460S has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-649. Also, the Core i5-4460S has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4460S CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-649 CPU because of its slightly 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 i5-4460S has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
