Intel Core i7-8565U vs Intel Xeon W3550

Core i7-8565U vs Xeon W3550 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon W3550 beats the Core i7-8565U in overall performance. 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 and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W3550 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8565U. Despite this, the Core i7-8565U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8565U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W3550 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Core i7-8565U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
