Intel Core i9-8950HK vs Intel Xeon E5-2695 v2

Core i9-8950HK vs Xeon E5-2695 v2 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2695 v2 is faster 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 E5-2695 v2 has significantly more cores than the Core i9-8950HK. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2695 v2 has 12 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i9-8950HK. It also has more threads than the Core i9-8950HK. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i9-8950HK has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2695 v2. Also, the Core i9-8950HK has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-8950HK CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2695 v2 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 i9-8950HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
