Intel Core i3-8350K vs Intel Xeon E5-2630 v4

Core i3-8350K vs Xeon E5-2630 v4 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2630 v4 performs better than the Core i3-8350K. Despite this, the Core i3-8350K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2630 v4 has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i3-8350K that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-8350K. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-8350K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2630 v4. The Xeon E5-2630 v4 outputs less heat than Core i3-8350K 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 i3-8350K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
