Intel Core i7-5820K vs Intel Xeon E5-1650 v2

Core i7-5820K vs Xeon E5-1650 v2 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-5820K is faster than the Xeon E5-1650 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1650 v2 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-1650 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-5820K. Also, the Xeon E5-1650 v2 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-1650 v2 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.

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