Intel Core i7-7820HQ vs Intel Xeon E3-1535M v6

Core i7-7820HQ vs Xeon E3-1535M v6 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1535M v6 beats the Core i7-7820HQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7820HQ 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 Xeon E3-1535M v6 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-7820HQ. Also, the Xeon E3-1535M v6 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-7820HQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
