Intel Core i5-9500T vs Intel Xeon E5-2660

Core i5-9500T vs Xeon E5-2660 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2660 is faster than the Core i5-9500T. Despite this, the Core i5-9500T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2660 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-9500T that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9500T. According to our data, the Core i5-9500T and Xeon E5-2660 have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i5-9500T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-9500T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2660 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 i5-9500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
