Core i7-4770 vs Xeon E5-2637 v4 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4770 is faster than the Xeon E5-2637 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2637 v4 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2637 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to 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 v4 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.
