Intel Core i7-8850H vs Intel Xeon E3-1270 v6

Core i7-8850H vs Xeon E3-1270 v6 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8850H is faster than the Xeon E3-1270 v6. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1270 v6 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 E3-1270 v6. Indeed, the Core i7-8850H has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon E3-1270 v6. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1270 v6. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E3-1270 v6 has a significantly higher clock speed than 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 E3-1270 v6 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 E3-1270 v6. The Core i7-8850H also has significantly more L3 cache.

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