Intel Core i5-8400 vs Intel Xeon E5-1650 v2

Core i5-8400 vs Xeon E5-1650 v2 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8400 is faster than the Xeon E5-1650 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1650 v2 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon E5-1650 v2 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1650 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8400. Despite this, the Core i5-8400 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8400 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1650 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 i5-8400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
