Intel Core i5-7600K vs Intel Xeon E5-1650 v2

Core i5-7600K vs Xeon E5-1650 v2 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-1650 v2 beats the Core i5-7600K in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-7600K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-1650 v2 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i5-7600K has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7600K. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-7600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-1650 v2. Also, the Core i5-7600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7600K CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1650 v2 CPU because of its much 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 i5-7600K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
