Judging by their specs, they will produce nearly the same amounts of heat:

https://ark.intel.com/products/134867/Intel-Xeon-E-2176M-Processor-12M-Cache-up-to-4-40-GHz-
In fact, the Xeon could actually be a bit hotter as a result of its small increase in base/boost speeds.

Thanks. I considered to exchange my X1E with 8850H to one with i5-8400H but from what I read in other forums, even users with i5-8400H have fan noise issue. I also read that P1 with P1000/P2000 GPU also have fan noise issue. So, if I want a silent or almost silent machine, I have to stay away from P1 and X1E and perhaps also laptops with an H at the end of the CPU?
Based on what other users mentioned, it seems that the X1E and perhaps also P1 have fans charactistics like this: 1) suddenly fans kick in for no reason even when idling or the user is doing light work like browsing the web or doing office productivity work. 2) in my case even at CPU load of about 1%, fans suddenly kicked in and get noisy. 3) Usually either fans don't spin or spin at about 2500 rpm to the point of annoying especially when working in a quiet place.

I have a similar rig, a Dell Precision 7520, and it is nearly silent, except when under a heavy processing load. Is there a firmware update available for the Lenovo? If so, that could potentially help with the fan settings.
Don't know how the system performed at lower display resolutions. Can't test it since I returned it. I am considering to get a P1 or X1E (which from your replies does not seem to be better in terms of quieter), T480, T480s, X1C6 or X1 Yoga.
