Intel Core Ultra 5 225 vs Intel Xeon Platinum 8170M

Core Ultra 5 225 vs Xeon Platinum 8170M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon Platinum 8170M is faster than the Core Ultra 5 225. Despite this, the Core Ultra 5 225 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon Platinum 8170M has significantly more cores than the Core Ultra 5 225. Indeed, the Xeon Platinum 8170M has 26 cores compared to 10 cores found in the Core Ultra 5 225. It also has more threads than the Core Ultra 5 225. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core Ultra 5 225 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Platinum 8170M. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon Platinum 8170M has slightly more L2 cache than the Core Ultra 5 225. The Xeon Platinum 8170M also has significantly 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. For instance, the Core Ultra 5 225 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
