Intel Core i9-9880H vs Intel Xeon W-2133

Core i9-9880H vs Xeon W-2133 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-9880H performs better than the Xeon W-2133. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W-2133 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i9-9880H has slightly more cores than the Xeon W-2133. Indeed, the Core i9-9880H has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon W-2133. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2133. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-2133 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 W-2133 CPU because of its 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 i9-9880H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
