Intel Core i9-8950HK vs Intel Xeon E5-2667 v2

Core i9-8950HK vs Xeon E5-2667 v2 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2667 v2 is faster than the Core i9-8950HK. Despite this, the Core i9-8950HK has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2667 v2 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i9-8950HK that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i9-8950HK. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2667 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-8950HK. Despite this, the Core i9-8950HK has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-8950HK CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2667 v2 CPU because of its significantly 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 i9-8950HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
