Intel Core i7-2760QM vs Intel Xeon X5470

Core i7-2760QM vs Xeon X5470 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-2760QM performs better than the Xeon X5470. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5470 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-2760QM has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon X5470 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-2760QM. A Core i7-2760QM CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5470 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 i7-2760QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
