Intel Core i7-7660U vs Intel Xeon E5-450

Core i7-7660U vs Xeon E5-450 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-7660U beats the Xeon E5-450 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-450 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-450 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-7660U. Indeed, the Xeon E5-450 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i7-7660U. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-450 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-7660U.

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 i7-7660U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
