Core i7-3610QM vs Xeon E5-1603 v3 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-3610QM beats the Xeon E5-1603 v3 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon E5-1603 v3 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-3610QM has more threads. A Core i7-3610QM CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1603 v3 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 i7-3610QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
