Core i9-9820X vs Xeon E5-2699 v3 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2699 v3 performs better than the Core i9-9820X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-9820X in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2699 v3 has significantly more cores with 18 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 E5-2699 v3. Also, the Core i9-9820X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-2699 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.

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 i9-9820X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
