Intel Core i7-9750H vs Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3

Core i7-9750H vs Xeon E5-2660 v3 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2660 v3 beats the Core i7-9750H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-9750H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2660 v3 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. According to our data, the Core i7-9750H and Xeon E5-2660 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 E5-2660 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.
