Intel Core i7-4800MQ vs Intel Xeon E3-1240 V2

Core i7-4800MQ vs Xeon E3-1240 V2 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E3-1240 V2 performs better than the Core i7-4800MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4800MQ has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 Xeon E3-1240 V2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4800MQ. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Xeon E3-1240 V2 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i7-4800MQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
