Intel Xeon E5-1620 vs Intel Core i7-4800MQ

Xeon E5-1620 vs Core i7-4800MQ specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-1620 beats the Core i7-4800MQ in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-4800MQ has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1620 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4800MQ. Also, the Xeon E5-1620 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4800MQ outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1620 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
