Core i5-8400T vs Xeon E5-2670 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8400T is faster than the Xeon E5-2670. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2670 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2670 has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Core i5-8400T has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8400T. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2670 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8400T. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i5-8400T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2670 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 i5-8400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
