Intel Core i7-4702MQ vs Intel Xeon W3550

Core i7-4702MQ vs Xeon W3550 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4702MQ performs better than the Xeon W3550. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W3550 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W3550 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4702MQ. Also, the Xeon W3550 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-4702MQ CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W3550 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon W3550 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-4702MQ. The Xeon W3550 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i7-4702MQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
