Intel Core i5-7500 vs Intel Xeon E5-2643 v2

Core i5-7500 vs Xeon E5-2643 v2 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2643 v2 is faster than the Core i5-7500. Despite this, the Core i5-7500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2643 v2 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-7500 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2643 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-7500. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i5-7500 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2643 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 i5-7500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
