Intel Core i5-4690K vs Intel Xeon E5-2630

Core i5-4690K vs Xeon E5-2630 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2630 is faster than the Core i5-4690K. Despite this, the Core i5-4690K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2630 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-4690K that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4690K. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4690K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2630. Also, the Core i5-4690K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4690K CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2630 CPU because of its 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 i5-4690K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
