Core i7-8700K vs Xeon W-2135 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon W-2135 performs better than the Core i7-8700K. Despite this, the Core i7-8700K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. According to our data, the Core i7-8700K and Xeon W-2135 have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-8700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8700K CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W-2135 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-8700K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
