Intel Core i7-950 vs Intel Pentium Silver N5030

Core i7-950 vs Pentium Silver N5030 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-950 performs better than the Pentium Silver N5030. Despite this, the Pentium Silver N5030 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-950 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-950 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium Silver N5030. The Pentium Silver N5030 outputs less heat than Core i7-950 thanks to a 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 i7-950 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
