Intel Core i7-8705G vs Intel Xeon E5-2630

Core i7-8705G vs Xeon E5-2630 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8705G beats the Xeon E5-2630 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2630 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2630 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i7-8705G that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-8705G. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-8705G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2630. Also, the Core i7-8705G has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8705G CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2630 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 i7-8705G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
