Intel Core i7-8700 vs Intel Xeon E5-2637 v3

Core i7-8700 vs Xeon E5-2637 v3 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8700 beats the Xeon E5-2637 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2637 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-8700 has significantly more cores than the Xeon E5-2637 v3. Indeed, the Core i7-8700 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon E5-2637 v3. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2637 v3. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2637 v3 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 E5-2637 v3 CPU because of its significantly 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 i7-8700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
