Intel Core i7-4930MX vs Intel Xeon E5-620

Core i7-4930MX vs Xeon E5-620 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-620 is faster than the Core i7-4930MX. Despite this, the Core i7-4930MX 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-4930MX has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-620. Also, the Core i7-4930MX has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-4930MX CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-620 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i7-4930MX has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E5-620. The Core i7-4930MX also has significantly 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 i7-4930MX has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
