Core i5-6500T vs Xeon X5470 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-6500T performs better than the Xeon X5470. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5470 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon X5470 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6500T. A Core i5-6500T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5470 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 i5-6500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
