Core i7-3930K vs Xeon W-2125 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-3930K is faster than the Xeon W-2125. Despite this, the Xeon W-2125 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-3930K has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Xeon W-2125 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2125. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W-2125 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-3930K. Also, the Xeon W-2125 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon W-2125 outputs less heat than Core i7-3930K thanks to a slightly 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. Indeed, the Core i7-3930K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
