Intel Core i5-8250U vs Intel Xeon W3580

Core i5-8250U vs Xeon W3580 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-8250U beats the Xeon W3580 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W3580 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W3580 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8250U. Also, the Xeon W3580 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8250U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W3580 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, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Xeon W3580 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Core i5-8250U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
