Intel Core i5-4690K vs Intel Xeon E5-1620 v2

Core i5-4690K vs Xeon E5-1620 v2 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4690K is faster than the Xeon E5-1620 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1620 v2 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon E5-1620 v2 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1620 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4690K. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i5-4690K CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1620 v2 CPU because of its significantly 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 i5-4690K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
