Intel Core i7-8700T vs Intel Xeon E-2186M

Core i7-8700T vs Xeon E-2186M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E-2186M beats the Core i7-8700T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8700T in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E-2186M has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-8700T. Also, the Xeon E-2186M has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8700T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E-2186M 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 i7-8700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
