Intel Core i9-9820X vs Intel Xeon Gold 6128

Core i9-9820X vs Xeon Gold 6128 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-9820X beats the Xeon Gold 6128 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon Gold 6128 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i9-9820X has significantly more cores than the Xeon Gold 6128. Indeed, the Core i9-9820X has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon Gold 6128. It also has more threads than the Xeon Gold 6128. Our comparison shows that the Xeon Gold 6128 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-9820X. Despite this, the Core i9-9820X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon Gold 6128 outputs less heat than Core i9-9820X thanks to a significantly 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.
