Intel Core i7-6920HQ vs Intel Xeon X3450

Core i7-6920HQ vs Xeon X3450 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X3450 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.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-6920HQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon X3450. Also, the Core i7-6920HQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-6920HQ CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X3450 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 i7-6920HQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
