Intel Core i7-3632QM vs Intel Xeon X5650

Core i7-3632QM vs Xeon X5650 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X5650 is faster than the Core i7-3632QM. Despite this, the Core i7-3632QM has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon X5650 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i7-3632QM that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-3632QM. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon X5650 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-3632QM. Despite this, the Core i7-3632QM has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-3632QM CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5650 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-3632QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
