Intel Xeon E5-1603 vs Intel Pentium 6805

Xeon E5-1603 vs Pentium 6805 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-1603 is faster than the Pentium 6805. Despite this, the Pentium 6805 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-1603 has significantly more cores than the Pentium 6805. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1603 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium 6805. But they both have the same number of threads. The Pentium 6805 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1603 thanks to a 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. For instance, the Xeon E5-1603 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
