Intel Core i7-9700 vs Intel Xeon E5-2698 v3

Core i7-9700 vs Xeon E5-2698 v3 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-9700 performs better than the Xeon E5-2698 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2698 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2698 v3 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-9700. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2698 v3 has 16 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core i7-9700. It also has more threads than the Core i7-9700. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-9700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2698 v3. Also, the Core i7-9700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-9700 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2698 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 more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i7-9700 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
