Core i7-6820HQ vs Xeon E5-430 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-6820HQ performs better than the Xeon E5-430. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-430 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-6820HQ has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-6820HQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-430. A Core i7-6820HQ CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-430 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.
