Intel Core i9-8950HK vs Intel Xeon E5-430

Core i9-8950HK vs Xeon E5-430 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-430 beats the Core i9-8950HK in overall performance. 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 Core i9-8950HK has significantly more cores than the Xeon E5-430. Indeed, the Core i9-8950HK has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon E5-430. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-430. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i9-8950HK has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-430. A Core i9-8950HK CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-430 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon E5-430 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i9-8950HK

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.
