Core i7-6920HQ vs Xeon Silver 4110 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon Silver 4110 is faster than the Core i7-6920HQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-6920HQ in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon Silver 4110 has significantly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Core i7-6920HQ has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-6920HQ. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-6920HQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Silver 4110. Also, the Core i7-6920HQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-6920HQ CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon Silver 4110 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 i7-6920HQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
