Intel Core i3-9100F vs Intel Xeon E5-2670

Core i3-9100F vs Xeon E5-2670 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-9100F beats the Xeon E5-2670 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2670 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2670 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i3-9100F that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-9100F. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-9100F has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2670. Also, the Core i3-9100F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-9100F CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2670 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.
