Core i7-2630QM vs Xeon X3440 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-2630QM is faster than the Xeon X3440. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X3440 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon X3440 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-2630QM. Also, the Xeon X3440 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-2630QM CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X3440 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 i7-2630QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
