Core i7-8850H vs Xeon E5-2637 v3 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8850H is faster than the Xeon E5-2637 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2637 v3 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-8850H has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Xeon E5-2637 v3 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2637 v3. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2637 v3 has a slightly 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 E5-2637 v3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
