Intel Core i7-9850HL vs Intel Xeon E5-649

Core i7-9850HL vs Xeon E5-649 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-9850HL performs better than the Xeon E5-649. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-649 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-9850HL has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-649 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-9850HL. Despite this, the Core i7-9850HL has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-9850HL CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-649 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Xeon E5-649 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i7-9850HL has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
