Intel Core i5-6500 vs Intel Xeon W3680

Core i5-6500 vs Xeon W3680 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W3680 is faster than the Core i5-6500. Despite this, the Core i5-6500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon W3680 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i5-6500 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-6500. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W3680 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6500. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i5-6500 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W3680 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 W3680 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-6500

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. For instance, the Core i5-6500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
