Core i5-9400T vs Xeon E3-1241 v3 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-9400T is faster than the Xeon E3-1241 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1241 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-9400T has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Xeon E3-1241 v3 that has 4 cores. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1241 v3 has more threads than the Core i5-9400T. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1241 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9400T. Also, the Xeon E3-1241 v3 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-9400T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1241 v3 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 i5-9400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
