Core i9-9820X vs Xeon E5-2670 v3 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-9820X is faster than the Xeon E5-2670 v3. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2670 v3 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2670 v3 has slightly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Core i9-9820X that has 10 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i9-9820X. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i9-9820X has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2670 v3. Also, the Core i9-9820X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-2670 v3 outputs less heat than Core i9-9820X thanks to a slightly 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 i9-9820X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
