Intel Core i7-8550U vs Intel Xeon X5470

Core i7-8550U vs Xeon X5470 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8550U beats the Xeon X5470 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5470 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-8550U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon X5470 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8550U. A Core i7-8550U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5470 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Xeon X5470 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-8550U

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 i7-8550U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
