Core i5-3550 vs Xeon E5-2699 v3 benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2699 v3 performs better than the Core i5-3550. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3550 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2699 v3 has significantly more cores with 18 cores compared to the Core i5-3550 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-3550. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-3550 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2699 v3. Also, the Core i5-3550 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-3550 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2699 v3 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 i5-3550 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
