Intel Xeon E5-2640 vs Intel Core i7-8850H

Xeon E5-2640 vs Core i7-8850H specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-8850H is faster than the Xeon E5-2640. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2640 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-8850H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2640. Also, the Core i7-8850H has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-8850H 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. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Xeon E5-2640 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 E5-2640 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
