Intel Core i7-4790 vs Intel Xeon E3-1505M v6

Core i7-4790 vs Xeon E3-1505M v6 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1505M v6 beats the Core i7-4790 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4790 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4790 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E3-1505M v6. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Xeon E3-1505M v6 outputs less heat than Core i7-4790 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

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 i7-4790 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
