Intel Xeon E5-1620 v2 vs Intel Core 7 150U

Xeon E5-1620 v2 vs Core 7 150U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 7 150U is faster than the Xeon E5-1620 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1620 v2 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core 7 150U has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Xeon E5-1620 v2 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-1620 v2. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1620 v2 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 7 150U. Despite this, the Core 7 150U has a slightly higher turbo speed.

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 Xeon E5-1620 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
