Intel Core i7-930 vs Intel Xeon E5-620

Core i7-930 vs Xeon E5-620 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-930 is faster than the Xeon E5-620. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-620 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 i7-930 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-620. Also, the Core i7-930 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-620 outputs less heat than Core i7-930 thanks to a 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 i7-930 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
