Core i5-4590T vs Xeon E5-2609 v3 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2609 v3 is faster than the Core i5-4590T. Despite this, the Core i5-4590T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2609 v3 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i5-4590T has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4590T. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4590T has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2609 v3. A Core i5-4590T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2609 v3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-4590T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
