Intel Core i3-8350K vs Intel Xeon E5-2667 v2

Core i3-8350K vs Xeon E5-2667 v2 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2667 v2 performs better than the Core i3-8350K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8350K in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2667 v2 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-8350K. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2667 v2 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i3-8350K. It also has more threads than the Core i3-8350K. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-8350K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2667 v2. A Core i3-8350K CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2667 v2 CPU because of its much 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.
