Intel Core i5-9500T vs Intel Xeon E5-2690 v2

Core i5-9500T vs Xeon E5-2690 v2 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2690 v2 beats the Core i5-9500T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-9500T in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-9500T. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-9500T. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9500T. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-9500T. Despite this, the Core i5-9500T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-9500T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2690 v2 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 i5-9500T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
