Intel Core i7-6700 vs Intel Xeon E3-1505M v6

Core i7-6700 vs Xeon E3-1505M v6 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-6700 beats the Xeon E3-1505M v6 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1505M v6 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 i7-6700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1505M v6. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Xeon E3-1505M v6 outputs less heat than Core i7-6700 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

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 i7-6700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
