Core i9-10900F vs Xeon E5-2699 v3 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-10900F is faster than the Xeon E5-2699 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2699 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2699 v3 has significantly more cores with 18 cores compared to the Core i9-10900F that has 10 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i9-10900F. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i9-10900F has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2699 v3. Also, the Core i9-10900F has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-10900F CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2699 v3 CPU because of its significantly 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. Indeed, the Core i9-10900F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
