Core i5-8350U vs Xeon E5-1603 v3 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8350U is faster than the Xeon E5-1603 v3. Despite this, the Xeon E5-1603 v3 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-8350U has more threads. A Core i5-8350U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1603 v3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Core i5-8350U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
