Intel Core i7-6700T vs Intel Xeon E5-620

Core i7-6700T vs Xeon E5-620 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-6700T is faster than the Xeon E5-620. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-620 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-6700T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-620. Also, the Core i7-6700T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-6700T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-620 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i7-6700T has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-620. The Core i7-6700T also has significantly more L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Core i7-6700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
