Intel Core i5-8600 vs Intel Xeon E5-2673 v4

Core i5-8600 vs Xeon E5-2673 v4 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2673 v4 beats the Core i5-8600 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8600 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2673 v4 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-8600. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2673 v4 has 20 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-8600. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8600. A Core i5-8600 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2673 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.
