Intel Core i7-8700T vs Intel Xeon E3-1505M v6

Core i7-8700T vs Xeon E3-1505M v6 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1505M v6 beats the Core i7-8700T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8700T in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-8700T has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Xeon E3-1505M v6 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1505M v6. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1505M v6 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8700T. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Core i7-8700T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1505M v6 CPU because of its slightly 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 Core i7-8700T has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E3-1505M v6. The Core i7-8700T also has significantly more 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 i7-8700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
