Xeon E5-1660 v4 vs Core i5-13600K comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-13600K beats the Xeon E5-1660 v4 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1660 v4 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Xeon E5-1660 v4 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-1660 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-13600K. Despite this, the Core i5-13600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-13600K outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1660 v4 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1660 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
