Numerical Computing Performance of 3 Intel 8-core CPUs – i9 9900K vs i7 9800X vs Xeon 2145W

In this post I’ll take a brief look at the numerical computing performance of three very capable 8-core processors — i9 9900K, i9 9800X and Xeon 2145W All three are great CPU’s but there are some significant differences that can cause confusion. I’ll discuss these differences and see how the processors stack up when running Linpack and NAMD molecular dynamics simulations.
