Core i9-9980HK vs Xeon Silver 4110 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i9-9980HK performs better than the Xeon Silver 4110. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon Silver 4110 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i9-9980HK has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Silver 4110. Also, the Core i9-9980HK has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-9980HK CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon Silver 4110 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 i9-9980HK has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
