Core i3-9100 vs Xeon W3680 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W3680 is faster than the Core i3-9100. Despite this, the Core i3-9100 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon W3680 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-9100. Indeed, the Xeon W3680 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i3-9100. It also has more threads than the Core i3-9100. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-9100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon W3680. Also, the Core i3-9100 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-9100 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W3680 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Xeon W3680 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-9100

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i3-9100 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
