Intel Core i7-9750H vs Intel Xeon E5-2640 v4

Core i7-9750H vs Xeon E5-2640 v4 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-9750H performs better than the Xeon E5-2640 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2640 v4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2640 v4 has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i7-9750H that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-9750H. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7-9750H has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2640 v4. Also, the Core i7-9750H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-9750H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2640 v4 CPU because of its 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 i7-9750H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
