Xeon is a group of products with really varying specs. There is no indication of which XEONs. Also new consumer CPUs often have really small internal caches.

The Xeon processor in use by the OP of this article claims to have 20MB of Intel “Smart Cache.”

An Apple M4 chip in a Mac mini has 16MB on the P-cores and 4MB on the E-cores.

Depending on use case, AMD 3D V-cache at almost 100MB could also work out quite well.

So really, if you wait long enough, consumer chips end up with a pretty similar amount of cache.

E5-2690s in my case.
