Intel Core i7-3632QM vs Intel Xeon X5570

Core i7-3632QM vs Xeon X5570 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon X5570 beats the Core i7-3632QM in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-3632QM has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-3632QM has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon X5570 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3632QM. Also, the Xeon X5570 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-3632QM 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 i7-3632QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
