Intel Core i7-6820HK vs Intel Xeon E5-2650 v2

Core i7-6820HK vs Xeon E5-2650 v2 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2650 v2 is faster than the Core i7-6820HK. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6820HK in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2650 v2 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i7-6820HK that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-6820HK. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-6820HK has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2650 v2. Also, the Core i7-6820HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-6820HK CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2650 v2 CPU because of its significantly 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 i7-6820HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
