Intel Core i7-8700T vs Intel Xeon E5-1620 v4

Core i7-8700T vs Xeon E5-1620 v4 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-1620 v4 is faster than the Core i7-8700T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8700T in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-8700T has significantly more cores than the Xeon E5-1620 v4. Indeed, the Core i7-8700T has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon E5-1620 v4. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-1620 v4. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-1620 v4 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8700T. Despite this, the Core i7-8700T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8700T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1620 v4 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 i7-8700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
