Intel Core i9-9900K vs Intel Xeon E5-2689

Core i9-9900K vs Xeon E5-2689 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-9900K is faster than the Xeon E5-2689. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2689 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. A Core i9-9900K CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2689 CPU because of its slightly 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 i9-9900K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
