Intel Core i7-2670QM vs Intel Xeon X5570

Core i7-2670QM vs Xeon X5570 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon X5570 performs better than the Core i7-2670QM. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-2670QM in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-2670QM has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon X5570 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-2670QM. Also, the Xeon X5570 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-2670QM CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5570 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 i7-2670QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
