Intel Core i7-8750H vs Intel Xeon E5-1660

Core i7-8750H vs Xeon E5-1660 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8750H beats the Xeon E5-1660 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1660 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-1660 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-8750H. Despite this, the Core i7-8750H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8750H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1660 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-8750H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
