Intel Core i3-9100 vs Intel Xeon X5680

Core i3-9100 vs Xeon X5680 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon X5680 beats the Core i3-9100 in overall performance. 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 X5680 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-9100. Indeed, the Xeon X5680 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i3-9100. It also has more threads than the Core i3-9100. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-9100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon X5680. Also, the Core i3-9100 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-9100 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5680 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i3-9100 has more L2 cache than the Xeon X5680. The Core i3-9100 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
