Intel Core i7-4770K vs Intel Xeon E3-1535M v6

Core i7-4770K vs Xeon E3-1535M v6 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E3-1535M v6 performs better than the Core i7-4770K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4770K 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 i7-4770K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E3-1535M v6. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1535M v6 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E3-1535M v6 outputs less heat than Core i7-4770K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-4770K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
