Core i7-975 vs Xeon E5-649 benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-649 performs better than the Core i7-975. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-975 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-649 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i7-975 that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Core i7-975 has more threads than the Xeon E5-649. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-975 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-649. Also, the Core i7-975 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-649 outputs less heat than Core i7-975 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 i7-975 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
