Intel Core i7-9700KF vs Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3

Core i7-9700KF vs Xeon E5-2683 v3 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-9700KF beats the Xeon E5-2683 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2683 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2683 v3 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-9700KF. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2683 v3 has 14 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 E5-2683 v3. Also, the Core i7-9700KF has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-9700KF CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2683 v3 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i7-9700KF has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
