Xeon E5-2699 v3 vs Core Ultra 7 258V specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2699 v3 is faster than the Core Ultra 7 258V. Despite this, the Core Ultra 7 258V has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2699 v3 has significantly more cores with 18 cores compared to the Core Ultra 7 258V that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core Ultra 7 258V. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2699 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core Ultra 7 258V. Despite this, the Core Ultra 7 258V has a slightly higher turbo speed.

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 E5-2699 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
