Core i7-4712MQ vs Xeon X3450 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4712MQ is faster than the Xeon X3450. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X3450 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon X3450 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4712MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4712MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-4712MQ CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X3450 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Xeon X3450 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-4712MQ

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 i7-4712MQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
