Intel Core i7-860 vs Intel Xeon X5482

Core i7-860 vs Xeon X5482 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X5482 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. Our comparison shows that the Xeon X5482 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-860. A Core i7-860 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5482 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-860 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
