Core i5-8500T vs Xeon E3-1505M v6 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8500T is faster than the Xeon E3-1505M v6. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1505M v6 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-8500T has significantly more cores than the Xeon E3-1505M v6. Indeed, the Core i5-8500T has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon E3-1505M v6. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1505M v6 has more threads than the Core i5-8500T. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1505M v6 has a much higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8500T. Also, the Xeon E3-1505M v6 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8500T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1505M v6 CPU because of its slightly 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 E3-1505M v6. 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.
