Intel Core i5-9500 vs Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4

Core i5-9500 vs Xeon E5-2650 v4 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2650 v4 performs better than the Core i5-9500. Despite this, the Core i5-9500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2650 v4 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-9500. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2650 v4 has 12 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-9500. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-9500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2650 v4. Also, the Core i5-9500 has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-9500 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2650 v4 CPU because of its significantly 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 i5-9500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
