Intel Core i7-8705G vs Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3

Core i7-8705G vs Xeon E5-2620 v3 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2620 v3 is faster than the Core i7-8705G. Despite this, the Core i7-8705G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2620 v3 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-8705G. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2620 v3 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-8705G. It also has more threads than the Core i7-8705G. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-8705G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2620 v3. Also, the Core i7-8705G has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8705G CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2620 v3 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-8705G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
