Intel Xeon E5-2687W v4 vs Intel Core i3-14100F

Xeon E5-2687W v4 vs Core i3-14100F comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2687W v4 beats the Core i3-14100F in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i3-14100F has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2687W v4 has significantly more cores than the Core i3-14100F. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W v4 has 12 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i3-14100F. It also has more threads than the Core i3-14100F. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-14100F has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2687W v4. Also, the Core i3-14100F has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i3-14100F has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-2687W v4. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2687W v4 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i3-14100F.

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 Xeon E5-2687W v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
