Core i9-8950HK vs Xeon X5675 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon X5675 performs better than the Core i9-8950HK. Despite this, the Core i9-8950HK has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon X5675 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 X5675 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

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.
