Intel Core i5-8259U vs Intel Xeon E-2176M

Core i5-8259U vs Xeon E-2176M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E-2176M beats the Core i5-8259U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8259U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E-2176M has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-8259U that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8259U. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E-2176M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8259U. Also, the Xeon E-2176M has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8259U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E-2176M 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. Indeed, the Core i5-8259U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
