Intel Core i5-8365U vs Intel Xeon W3550

Core i5-8365U vs Xeon W3550 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon W3550 beats the Core i5-8365U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-8365U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W3550 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8365U. Despite this, the Core i5-8365U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8365U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W3550 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 i5-8365U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
