Intel Core i7-4810MQ vs Intel Xeon X5687

Core i7-4810MQ vs Xeon X5687 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4810MQ performs better than the Xeon X5687. Despite this, the Xeon X5687 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon X5687 has slightly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-4810MQ that has 3 cores. Despite this, the Core i7-4810MQ has more threads than the Xeon X5687. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon X5687 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-4810MQ. Also, the Xeon X5687 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-4810MQ CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5687 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Xeon X5687 also has significantly 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 i7-4810MQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
