Intel Core i7-3770S vs Intel Xeon E5-620

Core i7-3770S vs Xeon E5-620 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-620 is faster than the Core i7-3770S. Despite this, the Core i7-3770S has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-3770S has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-620. Also, the Core i7-3770S has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-3770S CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-620 CPU because of its slightly 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 i7-3770S has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
