Intel Core i7-8850H vs Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3

Core i7-8850H vs Xeon E5-2640 v3 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 is faster than the Core i7-8850H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8850H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has slightly more cores than the Core i7-8850H. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i7-8850H. It also has more threads than the Core i7-8850H. Both the Core i7-8850H and Xeon E5-2640 v3 have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-8850H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8850H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2640 v3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-8850H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
