Core i7-5820K vs Xeon E5-2660 v3 comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-5820K performs better than the Xeon E5-2660 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2660 v3 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2660 v3 has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i7-5820K that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-5820K. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-5820K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2660 v3. Also, the Core i7-5820K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-2660 v3 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.
