Intel Xeon W-2125 vs Intel Core i7 X 990

Xeon W-2125 vs Core i7 X 990 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7 X 990 is faster than the Xeon W-2125. Despite this, the Xeon W-2125 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7 X 990 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Xeon W-2125 that has 4 cores. 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 990.

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 Xeon W-2125 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
