Intel Core i5-9500 vs Intel Xeon E5-2667 v4

Core i5-9500 vs Xeon E5-2667 v4 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2667 v4 beats the Core i5-9500 in overall performance. 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 E5-2667 v4 has slightly more cores than the Core i5-9500. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2667 v4 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-9500. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9500. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2667 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9500. Despite this, the Core i5-9500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-9500 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2667 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 i5-9500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
