Core i5-8600 vs Xeon E5-1650 v4 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-1650 v4 beats the Core i5-8600 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-8600 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon E5-1650 v4 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-1650 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8600. Despite this, the Core i5-8600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8600 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1650 v4 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 i5-8600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
