Core i7-7800X vs Xeon E-2146G comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E-2146G is faster than the Core i7-7800X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7800X in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. In terms of clock speed, the Core i7-7800X and Xeon E-2146G are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Xeon E-2146G has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E-2146G outputs less heat than Core i7-7800X thanks to a 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 i7-7800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
