Core i7-5820K vs Xeon E5-1650 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-5820K beats the Xeon E5-1650 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1650 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-5820K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-1650. Despite this, the Xeon E5-1650 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-1650 outputs less heat than Core i7-5820K thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-5820K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
