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

Core i7-9700F vs Xeon E5-2687W v3 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-9700F performs better than the Xeon E5-2687W v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2687W v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i7-9700F that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-9700F. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9700F. Despite this, the Core i7-9700F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-9700F 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 cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i7-9700F. The Xeon E5-2687W v3 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i7-9700F has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
