Intel Core i3-8300 vs Intel Xeon E-2176M

Core i3-8300 vs Xeon E-2176M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E-2176M is faster than the Core i3-8300. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8300 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E-2176M has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i3-8300 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-8300. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-8300 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E-2176M. The Xeon E-2176M outputs less heat than Core i3-8300 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 Core i3-8300 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
