Intel Core i7-3610QM vs Intel Xeon X5570

Core i7-3610QM vs Xeon X5570 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X5570 is faster than the Core i7-3610QM. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-3610QM in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-3610QM has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon X5570 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3610QM. Also, the Xeon X5570 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-3610QM 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.

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 i7-3610QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
