Intel Core i7-8750H vs Intel Xeon E5-2660

Core i7-8750H vs Xeon E5-2660 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8750H 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.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2660 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i7-8750H that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-8750H. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-8750H has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2660. Also, the Core i7-8750H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8750H 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.

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 i7-8750H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
