Intel Core i5-6440HQ vs Intel Xeon E5-1650

Core i5-6440HQ vs Xeon E5-1650 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-1650 beats the Core i5-6440HQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6440HQ in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-1650 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-6440HQ. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1650 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-6440HQ. It also has more threads than the Core i5-6440HQ. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-1650 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6440HQ. Also, the Xeon E5-1650 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-6440HQ CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1650 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-6440HQ has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
