Core i7-3635QM vs Xeon W3550 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-3635QM is faster than the Xeon W3550. Despite this, the Xeon W3550 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon W3550 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 W3550 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 i7-3635QM has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
