Core i5-7500T vs Xeon E5-649 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-649 is faster than the Core i5-7500T. Despite this, the Core i5-7500T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-649 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-7500T. Indeed, the Xeon E5-649 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-7500T. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7500T. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-7500T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-649. Also, the Core i5-7500T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7500T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-649 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 Xeon E5-649 has more L2 cache than the Core i5-7500T. The Xeon E5-649 also has significantly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i5-7500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
