Intel Core i7-860 vs Intel Xeon X5470

Core i7-860 vs Xeon X5470 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X5470 is faster than the Core i7-860. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-860 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-860 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon X5470 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-860. A Core i7-860 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5470 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. 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 i7-860 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
