Core i5-8300H vs Xeon W-2125 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon W-2125 beats the Core i5-8300H in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8300H 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. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-2125 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8300H. Also, the Xeon W-2125 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8300H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W-2125 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 i5-8300H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
