Intel Core i7-4810MQ vs Intel Xeon W3550

Core i7-4810MQ vs Xeon W3550 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4810MQ performs better than the Xeon W3550. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W3550 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon W3550 has slightly more cores than the Core i7-4810MQ. Indeed, the Xeon W3550 has 4 cores compared to 3 cores found in the Core i7-4810MQ. It also has more threads than the Core i7-4810MQ. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon W3550 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4810MQ. Despite this, the Core i7-4810MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-4810MQ CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W3550 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Xeon W3550 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i7-4810MQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
