Intel Core i7-2630QM vs Intel Xeon X5482

Core i7-2630QM vs Xeon X5482 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X5482 is faster than the Core i7-2630QM. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-2630QM in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-2630QM has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon X5482 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-2630QM. A Core i7-2630QM CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5482 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.
