Core i7-4771 vs Xeon E5-1620 v4 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4771 is faster than the Xeon E5-1620 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1620 v4 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Both the Core i7-4771 and Xeon E5-1620 v4 have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-4771 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-4771 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1620 v4 CPU because of its significantly 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 i7-4771 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
