Xeon E5-2690 v4 vs Core i9-12900T comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-12900T 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.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i9-12900T has slightly more cores with 16 cores whereas the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has 14 cores. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has more threads than the Core i9-12900T. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-12900T. Despite this, the Core i9-12900T has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i9-12900T outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2690 v4 thanks to a 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. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
