Intel Xeon W3680 vs Intel Core i7 X 980

Xeon W3680 vs Core i7 X 980 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W3680 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.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i7 X 980 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon W3680. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches

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 W3680 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
