Intel Core i9-8950HK vs Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4

Core i9-8950HK vs Xeon E5-2680 v4 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2680 v4 performs better than the Core i9-8950HK. Despite this, the Core i9-8950HK has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2680 v4 has significantly more cores than the Core i9-8950HK. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2680 v4 has 14 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i9-8950HK. It also has more threads than the Core i9-8950HK. Our comparison shows that the Core i9-8950HK has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2680 v4. Also, the Core i9-8950HK has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-8950HK CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2680 v4 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.
