Intel Core i3-9100F vs Intel Xeon E5-2640

Core i3-9100F vs Xeon E5-2640 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-9100F beats the Xeon E5-2640 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2640 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2640 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i3-9100F has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-9100F. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-9100F has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2640. Also, the Core i3-9100F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-9100F CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2640 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 E5-2640 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-9100F. The Xeon E5-2640 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i3-9100F has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
