Intel Core i7-4790 vs Intel Xeon E5-2637 v4

Core i7-4790 vs Xeon E5-2637 v4 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4790 beats the Xeon E5-2637 v4 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2637 v4 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 Core i7-4790 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2637 v4. Also, the Core i7-4790 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-4790 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2637 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 i7-4790 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
