Intel Core i7-8565U vs Intel Xeon X5650

Core i7-8565U vs Xeon X5650 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon X5650 beats the Core i7-8565U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-8565U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon X5650 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i7-8565U that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-8565U. Our comparison shows that the Xeon X5650 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8565U. Despite this, the Core i7-8565U has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8565U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5650 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon X5650 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-8565U. The Xeon X5650 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i7-8565U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
