Intel Core i7-4790S vs Intel Xeon E5-2670

Core i7-4790S vs Xeon E5-2670 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4790S is faster than the Xeon E5-2670. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2670 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2670 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-4790S. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2670 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-4790S. It also has more threads than the Core i7-4790S. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4790S has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2670. Also, the Core i7-4790S has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-4790S CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2670 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-4790S has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
