Intel Core i3-9300 vs Intel Xeon X5650

Core i3-9300 vs Xeon X5650 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i3-9300 performs better than the Xeon X5650. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5650 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon X5650 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 X5650. Also, the Core i3-9300 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-9300 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5650 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 X5650 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-9300. The Xeon X5650 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 i3-9300 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
