Core i7-3635QM vs Xeon E5-649 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-3635QM is faster than the Xeon E5-649. Despite this, the Xeon E5-649 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-649 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i7-3635QM that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Core i7-3635QM has more threads than the Xeon E5-649. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-649 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-3635QM. Despite this, the Core i7-3635QM has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-3635QM CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-649 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 i7-3635QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
