Intel Xeon W-2223 vs Intel Core i7 X 980

Xeon W-2223 vs Core i7 X 980 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W-2223 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-2223. Indeed, the Core i7 X 980 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon W-2223. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2223. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon W-2223 has a slightly higher clock speed than 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-2223 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
