Core i7-4771 vs Xeon E5-620 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4771 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. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4771 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-620. Also, the Core i7-4771 has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-620 outputs less heat than Core i7-4771 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-4771 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
