Intel Core i5-8500 vs Intel Xeon E-2276M

Core i5-8500 vs Xeon E-2276M benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E-2276M performs better than the Core i5-8500. Despite this, the Core i5-8500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Xeon E-2276M has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-8500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E-2276M. Despite this, the Xeon E-2276M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E-2276M outputs less heat than Core i5-8500 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Xeon E-2276M also has slightly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i5-8500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
