Intel Core i7-8850H vs Intel Xeon E5-1620 v4

Core i7-8850H vs Xeon E5-1620 v4 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8850H is faster than the Xeon E5-1620 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1620 v4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-8850H has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Xeon E5-1620 v4 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-1620 v4. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-1620 v4 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 E5-1620 v4 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.
