Core i5-8500T vs Xeon W3680 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8500T is faster than the Xeon W3680. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W3680 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon W3680 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon W3680 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8500T. Also, the Xeon W3680 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8500T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W3680 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Xeon W3680 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-8500T

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.
