Intel Core i5-13500 vs Intel Xeon Gold 6140

Core i5-13500 vs Xeon Gold 6140 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-13500 beats the Xeon Gold 6140 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon Gold 6140 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon Gold 6140 has slightly more cores with 18 cores compared to the Core i5-13500 that has 14 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-13500. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-13500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Gold 6140. Also, the Core i5-13500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon Gold 6140 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-13500. The Xeon Gold 6140 also has slightly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-13500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
