Intel Core i7-4790K vs Intel Xeon E3-1535M v6

Core i7-4790K vs Xeon E3-1535M v6 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E3-1535M v6 performs better than the Core i7-4790K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4790K 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4790K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1535M v6. Also, the Core i7-4790K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E3-1535M v6 outputs less heat than Core i7-4790K thanks to a significantly 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 i7-4790K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
