Core i7-930 vs Xeon E5-2620 specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2620 is faster than the Core i7-930. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-930 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2620 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-930. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2620 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-930. It also has more threads than the Core i7-930. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-930 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2620. Also, the Core i7-930 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-2620 outputs less heat than Core i7-930 thanks to a slightly 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 i7-930 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
