Intel Core i7-13700 vs Intel Xeon Gold 6154

Core i7-13700 vs Xeon Gold 6154 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon Gold 6154 beats the Core i7-13700 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-13700 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon Gold 6154 has slightly more cores with 18 cores compared to the Core i7-13700 that has 16 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-13700. Our comparison shows that the Xeon Gold 6154 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-13700. Despite this, the Core i7-13700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon Gold 6154 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-13700. Despite this, the Core i7-13700 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Xeon Gold 6154.

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. Indeed, the Core i7-13700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
