Intel Core i7-6820HK vs Intel Xeon E5-1620 v4

Core i7-6820HK vs Xeon E5-1620 v4 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-1620 v4 is faster than the Core i7-6820HK. Despite this, the Core i7-6820HK has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-1620 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6820HK. Also, the Xeon E5-1620 v4 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-6820HK CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1620 v4 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-6820HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
