Intel Core i9-8950HK vs Intel Xeon W-2125

Core i9-8950HK vs Xeon W-2125 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-8950HK beats the Xeon W-2125 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W-2125 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i9-8950HK has significantly more cores than the Xeon W-2125. Indeed, the Core i9-8950HK has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon W-2125. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2125. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon W-2125 has a slightly higher clock speed than 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 W-2125 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i9-8950HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
