Core i7-8650U vs Xeon X5470 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8650U beats the Xeon X5470 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon X5470 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-8650U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon X5470 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8650U. A Core i7-8650U 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon X5470 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-8650U

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