Intel Core i5-7300HQ vs Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3

Core i5-7300HQ vs Xeon E5-2620 v3 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2620 v3 beats the Core i5-7300HQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7300HQ in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2620 v3 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-7300HQ. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2620 v3 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-7300HQ. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7300HQ. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-7300HQ has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2620 v3. Also, the Core i5-7300HQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7300HQ CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2620 v3 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 i5-7300HQ has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
