Core i7 X 980 vs Xeon W3550 specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7 X 980 performs better than the Xeon W3550. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W3550 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7 X 980 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Xeon W3550 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W3550. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7 X 980 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon W3550. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7 X 980 has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon W3550
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. Indeed, the Core i7 X 980 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
