Core i7-4770K vs Xeon W-2123 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W-2123 is faster than the Core i7-4770K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4770K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-2123 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4770K. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Core i7-4770K CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W-2123 CPU because of its much lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
