Intel Core i7-9700K vs Intel Xeon E5-2470 v2

Core i7-9700K vs Xeon E5-2470 v2 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2470 v2 is faster than the Core i7-9700K. Despite this, the Core i7-9700K has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2470 v2 has slightly more cores than the Core i7-9700K. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2470 v2 has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core i7-9700K. It also has more threads than the Core i7-9700K. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-9700K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2470 v2. Also, the Core i7-9700K has a significantly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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. For instance, the Core i7-9700K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
