Intel Core i7-8565U vs Intel Xeon E5-1603 v3

Core i7-8565U vs Xeon E5-1603 v3 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-1603 v3 performs better than the Core i7-8565U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8565U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-8565U has more threads. A Core i7-8565U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1603 v3 CPU because of its significantly 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 i7-8565U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
