Intel Core i7-4600M vs Intel Xeon E5-440

Core i7-4600M vs Xeon E5-440 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4600M beats the Xeon E5-440 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-440 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-440 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-4600M. Indeed, the Xeon E5-440 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-4600M. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4600M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-440.

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 i7-4600M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
