Core i3-8350K vs Xeon W-2125 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W-2125 is faster than the Core i3-8350K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-8350K in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon W-2125 has more threads. Both the Core i3-8350K and Xeon W-2125 have the same clock speed. A Core i3-8350K CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W-2125 CPU because of its slightly 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. For instance, the Core i3-8350K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
