Core i7-8565U vs Xeon X5687 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-8565U performs better than the Xeon X5687. Despite this, the Xeon X5687 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-8565U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon X5687 has a significantly higher clock speed than 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 X5687 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Xeon X5687 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
