Xeon E5-2660 v3 vs Core i7-9750HF comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2660 v3 beats the Core i7-9750HF in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-9750HF has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2660 v3 has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i7-9750HF that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-9750HF. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2660 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9750HF.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2660 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
