Intel Core i7-9700T vs Intel Xeon E5-2620

Core i7-9700T vs Xeon E5-2620 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-9700T 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.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-9700T has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Xeon E5-2620 that has 6 cores. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2620 has more threads than the Core i7-9700T. According to our data, the Core i7-9700T and Xeon E5-2620 have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-9700T has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-9700T 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.

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 i7-9700T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
