Intel Core i7-8700T vs Intel Xeon W-2125

Core i7-8700T vs Xeon W-2125 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8700T beats the Xeon W-2125 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon W-2125 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-8700T has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Xeon W-2125 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2125. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-2125 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8700T. Also, the Xeon W-2125 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8700T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W-2125 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 i7-8700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
