Intel Core i7-4790S vs Intel Xeon E5-2630

Core i7-4790S vs Xeon E5-2630 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4790S is faster than the Xeon E5-2630. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2630 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2630 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i7-4790S has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-4790S. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4790S has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2630. Also, the Core i7-4790S has a much higher turbo speed. A Core i7-4790S CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2630 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 i7-4790S has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
