Intel Core i9-11900H vs Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4

Core i9-11900H vs Xeon E5-2650 v4 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2650 v4 beats the Core i9-11900H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i9-11900H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2650 v4 has significantly more cores than the Core i9-11900H. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2650 v4 has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core i9-11900H. It also has more threads than the Core i9-11900H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i9-11900H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2650 v4. Also, the Core i9-11900H has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-11900H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2650 v4 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i9-11900H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
