Core i5-4570 vs Xeon E5-1620 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-1620 performs better than the Core i5-4570. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4570 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon E5-1620 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-1620 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4570. Also, the Xeon E5-1620 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4570 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1620 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i5-4570 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
