Intel Core i7-11850H vs Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3

Core i7-11850H vs Xeon E5-2650 v3 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-11850H beats the Xeon E5-2650 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2650 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2650 v3 has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i7-11850H that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-11850H. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-11850H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2650 v3. Also, the Core i7-11850H has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-11850H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2650 v3 CPU because of its significantly 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. Indeed, the Core i7-11850H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
