Intel Core i7-9750H vs Intel Xeon E5-2690

Core i7-9750H vs Xeon E5-2690 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2690 performs better than the Core i7-9750H. 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 E5-2690 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i7-9750H that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-9750H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2690 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9750H. Despite this, the Core i7-9750H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-9750H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2690 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.
