Intel Core i5-9400T vs Intel Xeon E5-1620 v4

Core i5-9400T vs Xeon E5-1620 v4 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-9400T beats the Xeon E5-1620 v4 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1620 v4 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-9400T has significantly more cores than the Xeon E5-1620 v4. Indeed, the Core i5-9400T has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon E5-1620 v4. Despite this, the Xeon E5-1620 v4 has more threads than the Core i5-9400T. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1620 v4 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9400T. Also, the Xeon E5-1620 v4 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-9400T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1620 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 i5-9400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
