Intel Core i3-9100F vs Intel Xeon E5-2660

Core i3-9100F vs Xeon E5-2660 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2660 performs better than the Core i3-9100F. Despite this, the Core i3-9100F has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2660 has significantly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Core i3-9100F has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-9100F. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-9100F has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2660. Also, the Core i3-9100F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-9100F CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2660 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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