Core i7-4770 vs Xeon E5-2637 v3 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2637 v3 is faster than the Core i7-4770. Despite this, the Core i7-4770 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 E5-2637 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4770. Despite this, the Core i7-4770 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-4770 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2637 v3 CPU because of its 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 i7-4770 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
