Core i5-9600T vs Xeon E5-2640 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2640 beats the Core i5-9600T in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-9600T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon E5-2640 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2640 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-9600T. Despite this, the Core i5-9600T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-9600T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2640 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i5-9600T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
