Intel Core i7-4800MQ vs Intel Xeon E5-620

Core i7-4800MQ vs Xeon E5-620 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-4800MQ is faster than the Xeon E5-620. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-620 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-4800MQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-620. Also, the Core i7-4800MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-4800MQ CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-620 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-4800MQ has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-620. The Core i7-4800MQ also has significantly more L3 cache.

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