Core i7-4770 vs Xeon E5-620 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4770 performs better than the Xeon E5-620. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-620 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4770 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-620. Also, the Core i7-4770 has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-620 outputs less heat than Core i7-4770 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i7-4770 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E5-620. The Core i7-4770 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.
