Intel Core i7-3930K vs Intel Xeon E5-2630 v4

Core i7-3930K vs Xeon E5-2630 v4 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2630 v4 is faster than the Core i7-3930K. Despite this, the Core i7-3930K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2630 v4 has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i7-3930K that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-3930K. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-3930K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2630 v4. Also, the Core i7-3930K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-2630 v4 outputs less heat than Core i7-3930K thanks to a 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 i7-3930K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
