Core i7-4790K vs Xeon W-2125 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-4790K beats the Xeon W-2125 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon W-2125 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. In terms of clock speed, the Core i7-4790K and Xeon W-2125 are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Xeon W-2125 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-4790K CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W-2125 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-4790K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
