Intel Core i7-8705G vs Intel Xeon E5-2660

Core i7-8705G vs Xeon E5-2660 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8705G is faster than the Xeon E5-2660. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2660 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2660 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-8705G. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2660 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-8705G. It also has more threads than the Core i7-8705G. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-8705G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2660. Also, the Core i7-8705G has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8705G CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2660 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.
