Core i7-9700T vs Xeon E5-2690 v4 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 beats the Core i7-9700T in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-9700T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-9700T. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has 14 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core i7-9700T. It also has more threads than the Core i7-9700T. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has a slightly 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 v4 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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