Intel Core i7-6700 vs Intel Xeon E5-1650 v4

Core i7-6700 vs Xeon E5-1650 v4 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-1650 v4 performs better than the Core i7-6700. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6700 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-1650 v4 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-6700. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1650 v4 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-6700. It also has more threads than the Core i7-6700. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1650 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6700. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Core i7-6700 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1650 v4 CPU because of its significantly 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 i7-6700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
