Intel Core i5-7600 vs Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3

Core i5-7600 vs Xeon E5-2640 v3 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 is faster than the Core i5-7600. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7600 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-7600. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-7600. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7600. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-7600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2640 v3. Also, the Core i5-7600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7600 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2640 v3 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 i5-7600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
