Intel Xeon X5647 vs Intel Core 7 150U

Xeon X5647 vs Core 7 150U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core 7 150U performs better than the Xeon X5647. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5647 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core 7 150U has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Xeon X5647 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon X5647. Our comparison shows that the Xeon X5647 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 7 150U. Despite this, the Core 7 150U has a significantly higher turbo speed. The info from our database shows that the Core 7 150U has more L2 cache than the Xeon X5647. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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. Indeed, the Xeon X5647 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
