Intel Core i3-6157U vs Intel Xeon W3580

Core i3-6157U vs Xeon W3580 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W3580 is faster than the Core i3-6157U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-6157U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon W3580 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-6157U. Indeed, the Xeon W3580 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-6157U. It also has more threads than the Core i3-6157U. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W3580 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-6157U. A Core i3-6157U 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 more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-6157U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
