Intel Core i7-8700T vs Intel Xeon E5-620

Core i7-8700T vs Xeon E5-620 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8700T beats the Xeon E5-620 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-620 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 E5-620. Indeed, the Core i7-8700T has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon E5-620. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-620. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-620 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-8700T. Despite this, the Core i7-8700T has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8700T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-620 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i7-8700T has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E5-620. The Core i7-8700T also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
