Intel Core i7-8850H vs Intel Xeon E3-1245 v5

Core i7-8850H vs Xeon E3-1245 v5 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-8850H performs better than the Xeon E3-1245 v5. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-8850H has significantly more cores than the Xeon E3-1245 v5. Indeed, the Core i7-8850H has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon E3-1245 v5. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1245 v5. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1245 v5 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 E3-1245 v5 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i7-8850H has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E3-1245 v5. The Core i7-8850H also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i7-8850H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
