Intel Core i7-9700KF vs Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3

Core i7-9700KF vs Xeon E5-2670 v3 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-9700KF performs better than the Xeon E5-2670 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2670 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2670 v3 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-9700KF. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2670 v3 has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core i7-9700KF. It also has more threads than the Core i7-9700KF. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-9700KF has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2670 v3. Also, the Core i7-9700KF has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-9700KF CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2670 v3 CPU because of its slightly 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 i7-9700KF has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
