Intel Core i9-9900KF vs Intel Xeon E5-2687W

Core i9-9900KF vs Xeon E5-2687W benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-9900KF beats the Xeon E5-2687W in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2687W in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i9-9900KF has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2687W. Also, the Core i9-9900KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-9900KF CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2687W CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Xeon E5-2687W also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 i9-9900KF has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
