Xeon E5-2620 vs Core i7-9850HL specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2620 performs better than the Core i7-9850HL. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-9850HL in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2620 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-9850HL. Despite this, the Core i7-9850HL has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-9850HL outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2620 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. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2620 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
