Core i5-9600K vs Xeon E5-2673 v3 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2673 v3 is faster than the Core i5-9600K. Despite this, the Core i5-9600K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2673 v3 has significantly more cores with 12 cores whereas the Core i5-9600K has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9600K. A Core i5-9600K CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2673 v3 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-9600K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
