Core i7-8700T vs Xeon E5-2620 v3 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-8700T performs better than the Xeon E5-2620 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2620 v3 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Both the Core i7-8700T and Xeon E5-2620 v3 have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-8700T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8700T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2620 v3 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.
