Intel Core i5-8500T vs Intel Xeon E3-1245 v5

Core i5-8500T vs Xeon E3-1245 v5 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-8500T beats the Xeon E3-1245 v5 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1245 v5 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-8500T has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has 4 cores. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has more threads than the Core i5-8500T. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8500T. Also, the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8500T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1245 v5 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 i5-8500T has more L2 cache than the Xeon E3-1245 v5. The Core i5-8500T also has slightly 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 i5-8500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
