Intel Core i5-6600T vs Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4

Core i5-6600T vs Xeon E5-2690 v4 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2690 v4 performs better than the Core i5-6600T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6600T in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-6600T. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has 14 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-6600T. It also has more threads than the Core i5-6600T. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-6600T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2690 v4. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Core i5-6600T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2690 v4 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 i5-6600T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
