Intel Core i7-8700T vs Intel Xeon E5-2630

Core i7-8700T vs Xeon E5-2630 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8700T beats the Xeon E5-2630 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2630 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-8700T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2630. Also, the Core i7-8700T has a much higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8700T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2630 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-8700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
