Intel Xeon W-2125 vs Intel Core i7 X 980

Xeon W-2125 vs Core i7 X 980 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W-2125 is faster than the Core i7 X 980. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7 X 980 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7 X 980 has significantly more cores than the Xeon W-2125. Indeed, the Core i7 X 980 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon W-2125. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2125. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W-2125 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7 X 980.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Xeon W-2125 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
