Core i7-9700T vs Xeon E5-2690 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2690 beats the Core i7-9700T in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-9700T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon E5-2690 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2690 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-9700T. Despite this, the Core i7-9700T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-9700T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2690 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.
