Intel Core i3-6100 vs Intel Xeon X5482

Core i3-6100 vs Xeon X5482 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X5482 is faster than the Core i3-6100. Despite this, the Core i3-6100 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon X5482 has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i3-6100 that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-6100 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon X5482. A Core i3-6100 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5482 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 X5482 has more L2 cache than the Core i3-6100

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.
