Core i7-3770K vs Xeon E5-1620 v4 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-1620 v4 is faster than the Core i7-3770K. Despite this, the Core i7-3770K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. In terms of clock speed, the Core i7-3770K and Xeon E5-1620 v4 are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Core i7-3770K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-3770K CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1620 v4 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 i7-3770K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
