Core i7-8700 vs Xeon E5-1650 v4 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8700 is faster than the Xeon E5-1650 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1650 v4 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1650 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8700. Despite this, the Core i7-8700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8700 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1650 v4 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 i7-8700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
