Intel Core i7-8700T vs Intel Xeon E5-2620

Core i7-8700T vs Xeon E5-2620 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8700T beats the Xeon E5-2620 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2620 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-8700T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2620. Also, the Core i7-8700T has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8700T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2620 CPU because of its significantly 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. Indeed, the Core i7-8700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
