Intel Core i7-930 vs Intel Xeon X5687

Core i7-930 vs Xeon X5687 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-930 is faster than the Xeon X5687. Despite this, the Xeon X5687 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-930 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon X5687 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-930. Also, the Xeon X5687 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i7-930 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
