Intel Xeon E5-649 vs Intel Core i7-4810MQ

Xeon E5-649 vs Core i7-4810MQ benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-4810MQ performs better than the Xeon E5-649. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-649 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-649 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i7-4810MQ has 3 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-4810MQ. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-4810MQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-649. Also, the Core i7-4810MQ has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-4810MQ outputs less heat than Xeon E5-649 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon E5-649 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-4810MQ. The Xeon E5-649 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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. For instance, the Xeon E5-649 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
