Intel Core i5-9400 vs Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3

Core i5-9400 vs Xeon E5-2620 v3 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-9400 is faster than the Xeon E5-2620 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2620 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon E5-2620 v3 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-9400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2620 v3. Also, the Core i5-9400 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-9400 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2620 v3 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-9400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
