Intel Xeon E5-2667 v2 vs Intel Core i7-4930MX

Xeon E5-2667 v2 vs Core i7-4930MX specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2667 v2 performs better than the Core i7-4930MX. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-4930MX in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2667 v2 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-4930MX. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2667 v2 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-4930MX. It also has more threads than the Core i7-4930MX. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2667 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-4930MX. Also, the Xeon E5-2667 v2 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4930MX outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2667 v2 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 E5-2667 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
