Core i5-9400T vs Xeon E5-2690 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2690 is faster than the Core i5-9400T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9400T in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2690 has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Core i5-9400T has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9400T. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2690 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9400T. Also, the Xeon E5-2690 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-9400T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2690 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i5-9400T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
