Intel Core i5-7500 vs Intel Xeon X5680

Core i5-7500 vs Xeon X5680 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X5680 is faster than the Core i5-7500. Despite this, the Core i5-7500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon X5680 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-7500. Indeed, the Xeon X5680 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-7500. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7500. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-7500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon X5680. Also, the Core i5-7500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7500 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5680 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i5-7500 has more L2 cache than the Xeon X5680. The Core i5-7500 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i5-7500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
