Intel Core i9-9880H vs Intel Xeon E5-2689

Core i9-9880H vs Xeon E5-2689 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-9880H performs better than the Xeon E5-2689. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2689 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. A Core i9-9880H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2689 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.
