Core i7-8850H vs Xeon E5-2620 v3 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2620 v3 beats the Core i7-8850H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-8850H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-8850H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2620 v3. Also, the Core i7-8850H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8850H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2620 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.
