Core i9-9900K vs Xeon E5-2673 v4 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-9900K is faster than the Xeon E5-2673 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2673 v4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2673 v4 has significantly more cores with 20 cores compared to the Core i9-9900K that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i9-9900K. A Core i9-9900K CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2673 v4 CPU because of its slightly 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 i9-9900K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
