Intel Core i9-10980HK vs Intel Xeon E5-2687W v3

Core i9-10980HK vs Xeon E5-2687W v3 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-10980HK beats the Xeon E5-2687W v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2687W v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has slightly more cores than the Core i9-10980HK. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core i9-10980HK. It also has more threads than the Core i9-10980HK. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-10980HK. Despite this, the Core i9-10980HK has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-10980HK CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2687W v3 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 E5-2687W v3 has slightly more L2 cache than the Core i9-10980HK. The Xeon E5-2687W v3 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Core i9-10980HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
