Intel Core i7-7700T vs Intel Xeon E5-2690

Core i7-7700T vs Xeon E5-2690 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2690 is faster than the Core i7-7700T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7700T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2690 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i7-7700T that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-7700T. In terms of clock speed, the Core i7-7700T and Xeon E5-2690 are identical in this regard. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Core i7-7700T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2690 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. Indeed, the Core i7-7700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
