Core i7-4720HQ vs Xeon X5482 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4720HQ is faster than the Xeon X5482. Despite this, the Xeon X5482 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-4720HQ has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon X5482 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4720HQ. A Core i7-4720HQ CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5482 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Xeon X5482 has more L2 cache than the Core i7-4720HQ

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 i7-4720HQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
