Core i5-8600 vs Xeon E-2186M benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-8600 performs better than the Xeon E-2186M. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E-2186M in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon E-2186M has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-8600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E-2186M. Despite this, the Xeon E-2186M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E-2186M outputs less heat than Core i5-8600 thanks to a 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. For instance, the Core i5-8600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
