Intel Core i7-8850H vs Intel Xeon E5-2620

Core i7-8850H vs Xeon E5-2620 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-8850H performs better than the Xeon E5-2620. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2620 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-8850H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2620. Also, the Core i7-8850H has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8850H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2620 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.
