Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 vs Intel Core i7-14700T

Xeon E5-2690 v4 vs Core i7-14700T specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-14700T is faster than the Xeon E5-2690 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2690 v4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-14700T has many more cores with 20 cores compared to the Xeon E5-2690 v4 that has 14 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-14700T. Despite this, the Core i7-14700T has a significantly higher turbo speed.

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. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
