Xeon E5-1603 v3 vs Core i7-4702MQ specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-1603 v3 performs better than the Core i7-4702MQ. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4702MQ in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-4702MQ has more threads. The Core i7-4702MQ outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1603 v3 thanks to a 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. For instance, the Xeon E5-1603 v3 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
