Intel Core i7-8650U vs Intel Xeon E3-1535M v6

Core i7-8650U vs Xeon E3-1535M v6 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E3-1535M v6 is faster than the Core i7-8650U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8650U 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. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1535M v6 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8650U. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Core i7-8650U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1535M v6 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, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

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 i7-8650U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
