Intel Core i9-10900F vs Intel Xeon Gold 6138

Core i9-10900F vs Xeon Gold 6138 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-10900F performs better than the Xeon Gold 6138. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon Gold 6138 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon Gold 6138 has significantly more cores than the Core i9-10900F. Indeed, the Xeon Gold 6138 has 20 cores compared to 10 cores found in the Core i9-10900F. It also has more threads than the Core i9-10900F. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i9-10900F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Gold 6138. Also, the Core i9-10900F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-10900F CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon Gold 6138 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon Gold 6138 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i9-10900F. The Xeon Gold 6138 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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.
