Core i5-4590T vs Xeon E5-1603 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-4590T performs better than the Xeon E5-1603. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1603 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. A Core i5-4590T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1603 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 i5-4590T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
