Core i7-5930K vs Xeon E5-1650 v4 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-1650 v4 beats the Core i7-5930K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-5930K 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 Xeon E5-1650 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-5930K. 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.

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 i7-5930K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
