Core i7-6820HQ vs Xeon E5-1620 v4 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-1620 v4 performs better than the Core i7-6820HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6820HQ 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 Xeon E5-1620 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-6820HQ. Also, the Xeon E5-1620 v4 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-6820HQ 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.

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 i7-6820HQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
