Intel Core i3-9300 vs Intel Xeon E-2186M

Core i3-9300 vs Xeon E-2186M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E-2186M beats the Core i3-9300 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-9300 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E-2186M has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i3-9300 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-9300. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-9300 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E-2186M. Despite this, the Xeon E-2186M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E-2186M outputs less heat than Core i3-9300 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i3-9300 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
