Intel Core i7-11800H vs Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3

Core i7-11800H vs Xeon E5-2697 v3 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-11800H beats the Xeon E5-2697 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2697 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2697 v3 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-11800H. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2697 v3 has 14 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core i7-11800H. It also has more threads than the Core i7-11800H. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2697 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-11800H. Despite this, the Core i7-11800H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-11800H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2697 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. Indeed, the Core i7-11800H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
