Intel Core i7-4770 vs Intel Xeon E5-2687W

Core i7-4770 vs Xeon E5-2687W comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2687W beats the Core i7-4770 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4770 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2687W has significantly more cores than the Core i7-4770. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-4770. It also has more threads than the Core i7-4770. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4770 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2687W. Also, the Core i7-4770 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-4770 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2687W 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 E5-2687W has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-4770. The Xeon E5-2687W also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i7-4770 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
