Intel Core i7-6700K vs Intel Xeon Silver 4110

Core i7-6700K vs Xeon Silver 4110 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-6700K beats the Xeon Silver 4110 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon Silver 4110 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon Silver 4110 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i7-6700K that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-6700K. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-6700K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Silver 4110. Also, the Core i7-6700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon Silver 4110 outputs less heat than Core i7-6700K 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 i7-6700K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
