Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 vs Intel Core 7 150U

Xeon E5-2620 v3 vs Core 7 150U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 7 150U is faster than the Xeon E5-2620 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2620 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core 7 150U has significantly more cores than the Xeon E5-2620 v3. Indeed, the Core 7 150U has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon E5-2620 v3. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2620 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 7 150U. Despite this, the Core 7 150U has a significantly higher turbo speed.

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. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2620 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
