Intel Core i5-8500T vs Intel Xeon E5-2673 v3

Core i5-8500T vs Xeon E5-2673 v3 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2673 v3 is faster than the Core i5-8500T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8500T in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2673 v3 has significantly more cores with 12 cores whereas the Core i5-8500T has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8500T. A Core i5-8500T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2673 v3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
