Intel Core i7-9700 vs Intel Xeon E5-2687W v3

Core i7-9700 vs Xeon E5-2687W v3 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-9700 beats the Xeon E5-2687W v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2687W v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has slightly more cores than the Core i7-9700. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core i7-9700. It also has more threads than the Core i7-9700. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9700. Despite this, the Core i7-9700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-9700 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2687W v3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700. The Xeon E5-2687W v3 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. For instance, the Core i7-9700 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
