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

Core i7-9700K vs Xeon E5-2687W comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-9700K is faster than the Xeon E5-2687W. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2687W in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon E5-2687W has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-9700K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2687W. Also, the Core i7-9700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-9700K CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2687W CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Xeon E5-2687W 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 i7-9700K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
