Intel Core i9-8950HK vs Intel Xeon E-2186M

Core i9-8950HK vs Xeon E-2186M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E-2186M beats the Core i9-8950HK in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-8950HK in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Both the Core i9-8950HK and Xeon E-2186M have the same clock speed. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 i9-8950HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
