Intel Core i9-11900KF vs Intel Xeon E5-2673 v3

Core i9-11900KF vs Xeon E5-2673 v3 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-11900KF beats the Xeon E5-2673 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2673 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2673 v3 has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Core i9-11900KF that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i9-11900KF. The Xeon E5-2673 v3 outputs less heat than Core i9-11900KF thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i9-11900KF has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
