Intel Core i5-7400T vs Intel Xeon E5-2660

Core i5-7400T vs Xeon E5-2660 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2660 beats the Core i5-7400T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7400T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2660 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-7400T that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7400T. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-7400T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2660. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Core i5-7400T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2660 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 i5-7400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
