Core i7-5820K vs Xeon E5-1650 v4 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-1650 v4 performs better than the Core i7-5820K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-5820K in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-1650 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-5820K. Also, the Xeon E5-1650 v4 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-5820K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
