Core i7-9750H vs Xeon E5-2640 v3 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 is faster than the Core i7-9750H. Despite this, the Core i7-9750H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Core i7-9750H has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-9750H. Both the Core i7-9750H and Xeon E5-2640 v3 have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-9750H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-9750H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2640 v3 CPU because of its 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 i7-9750H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
