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

Core i7-4790S vs Xeon E5-2637 v4 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2637 v4 beats the Core i7-4790S in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-4790S has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2637 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4790S. Despite this, the Core i7-4790S has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-4790S 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.

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