Intel Xeon W3580 vs Intel Core i5-4460T

Xeon W3580 vs Core i5-4460T comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon W3580 beats the Core i5-4460T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4460T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon W3580 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W3580 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4460T. Also, the Xeon W3580 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-4460T outputs less heat than Xeon W3580 thanks to a significantly 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 W3580 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
