Intel Core i7-3820 vs Intel Xeon Gold 6226R

Core i7-3820 vs Xeon Gold 6226R comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-3820 performs better than the Xeon Gold 6226R. Despite this, the Xeon Gold 6226R has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon Gold 6226R has significantly more cores with 16 cores compared to the Core i7-3820 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-3820. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-3820 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Gold 6226R. Despite this, the Xeon Gold 6226R has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-3820 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon Gold 6226R CPU because of its slightly 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 i7-3820 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
