Intel Core i3-6100 vs Intel Xeon W3580

Core i3-6100 vs Xeon W3580 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W3580 is faster than the Core i3-6100. Despite this, the Core i3-6100 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon W3580 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-6100. Indeed, the Xeon W3580 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-6100. It also has more threads than the Core i3-6100. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-6100 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon W3580. A Core i3-6100 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W3580 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Xeon W3580 has more L2 cache than the Core i3-6100. The Xeon W3580 also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i3-6100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
