Intel Core i9-9880H vs Intel Xeon E5-2643 v2

Core i9-9880H vs Xeon E5-2643 v2 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-9880H is faster than the Xeon E5-2643 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2643 v2 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i9-9880H has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Xeon E5-2643 v2 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2643 v2. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2643 v2 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-9880H. Despite this, the Core i9-9880H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-9880H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2643 v2 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i9-9880H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
