Intel Core i7-11370H vs Intel Xeon E5-1660 v4

Core i7-11370H vs Xeon E5-1660 v4 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-1660 v4 beats the Core i7-11370H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-11370H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-1660 v4 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i7-11370H that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-11370H. A Core i7-11370H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1660 v4 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-11370H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
