Core i7-9700K vs Xeon W-2145 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon W-2145 performs better than the Core i7-9700K. Despite this, the Core i7-9700K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon W-2145 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-2145 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-9700K. Despite this, the Core i7-9700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-9700K CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W-2145 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i7-9700K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
