Intel Core i9-12900F vs Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4

Core i9-12900F vs Xeon E5-2683 v4 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-12900F beats the Xeon E5-2683 v4 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2683 v4 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Xeon E5-2683 v4 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i9-12900F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2683 v4. Also, the Core i9-12900F has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-12900F CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2683 v4 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 i9-12900F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
