Intel Core i5-8500T vs Intel Xeon E5-2660

Core i5-8500T vs Xeon E5-2660 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8500T is faster than the Xeon E5-2660. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2660 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2660 has slightly more cores than the Core i5-8500T. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2660 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-8500T. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8500T. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2660 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8500T. Despite this, the Core i5-8500T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8500T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2660 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 i5-8500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
