Intel Core i5-8600 vs Intel Xeon E5-2687W

Core i5-8600 vs Xeon E5-2687W benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2687W is faster than the Core i5-8600. Despite this, the Core i5-8600 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2687W has slightly more cores than the Core i5-8600. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-8600. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8600. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2687W has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8600. Despite this, the Core i5-8600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8600 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2687W CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Xeon E5-2687W has more L2 cache than the Core i5-8600. The Xeon E5-2687W also has significantly more L3 cache.

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. For instance, the Core i5-8600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
