Core i5-9600KF vs Xeon E5-2690 v4 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2690 v4 performs better than the Core i5-9600KF. Despite this, the Core i5-9600KF has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has significantly more cores with 14 cores whereas the Core i5-9600KF has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-9600KF. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-9600KF has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2690 v4. Also, the Core i5-9600KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-9600KF CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2690 v4 CPU because of its slightly 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 i5-9600KF has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
