Intel Core i7-7700T vs Intel Xeon E5-2620

Core i7-7700T vs Xeon E5-2620 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2620 beats the Core i7-7700T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7700T in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2620 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-7700T. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2620 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-7700T. It also has more threads than the Core i7-7700T. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-7700T has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2620. Also, the Core i7-7700T has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-7700T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2620 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 i7-7700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
