The main difference is the grains. Oatmeal - oats and Cream of wheat - wheat. Oatmeal is whole oats and has a thicher and rougher texture Cream of wheat is processed wheat and is very smooth Cream of rice is the rice version of Cream of Wheat. I don't like any hot cereals, so I have no preference for one over the other.
