Intel Core i7-8850H vs Intel Xeon E3-1220 v3

Core i7-8850H vs Xeon E3-1220 v3 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-8850H performs better than the Xeon E3-1220 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1220 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-8850H has significantly more cores than the Xeon E3-1220 v3. Indeed, the Core i7-8850H has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon E3-1220 v3. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1220 v3. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1220 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8850H. Despite this, the Core i7-8850H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8850H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1220 v3 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 i7-8850H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
