Intel Core i5-4690 vs Intel Xeon E5-430

Core i5-4690 vs Xeon E5-430 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-430 beats the Core i5-4690 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-4690 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4690 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-430. The Xeon E5-430 outputs less heat than Core i5-4690 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. For instance, the Core i5-4690 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
