Intel Xeon E5-2640 vs Intel Core i7-4770S

Xeon E5-2640 vs Core i7-4770S benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2640 is faster than the Core i7-4770S. Despite this, the Core i7-4770S has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2640 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-4770S. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2640 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-4770S. It also has more threads than the Core i7-4770S. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4770S has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2640. Also, the Core i7-4770S has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4770S outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2640 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 E5-2640 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
