Core i7-7820X vs Xeon W-2145 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W-2145 is faster than the Core i7-7820X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7820X in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W-2145 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-7820X. Also, the Xeon W-2145 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.

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 i7-7820X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
