Intel Core i5-8500 vs Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4

Core i5-8500 vs Xeon E5-2683 v4 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2683 v4 beats the Core i5-8500 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-8500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2683 v4 has significantly more cores with 16 cores compared to the Core i5-8500 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8500. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-8500 has a much higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2683 v4. Also, the Core i5-8500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8500 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2683 v4 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 i5-8500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
