Processor comparisons   11-01-2022
   For example you can't decide which processor to buy, you can make a decision after reading the full tests Intel Core i5-12500T vs Intel Xeon Gold 6130T and understand which is better for games or normal use for programming, rendering, video editing, machine learning, streaming. Here you can find useful information from real video editing and streaming tests or several benchmarks. A careful review of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to read, is summarized in the table.
   From the video comparison, you can get the results of joint testing in special test applications like UserBenchmark, Gears 5, MATLAB, GeekBench 6, 5.2, DaVinci Resolve Studio, Blender, SuperPi, PCMark 10, PassMark, RealBench, WPrime, World of Tanks enCore Benchmark, Prime95, 7zip, Dolphin Emulator, Blender, AIDA64, VeraCrypt, 3DMark, Handbrake, Cinebench 23 (20, 15), Furmark.

The maximum result in this parameter is 100 percent, which is the performance of the most powerful processor at the moment. And of course, this is a server processor, on which no one will run games. Because this processor costs several tens of thousands of dollars. And if it seems to you that the selected CPU has a little game result, just look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the summary table below.

The numbers in this table indicate the maximum FPS that was received on the device with the corresponding processor. Depending on the configuration of the computer (RAM size and Video Card) and graphics quality settings (Ultra, Medium, Normal), the results may differ quite significantly. We recommend that you better study the results of the Cinebench, GeekBench and Passmark becnmarks.
The computers participating in the comparing not only were the equipped with different video cards and different amounts of RAM. But users also tested them at different screen resolutions: 2K, FullHD or 4K. So the game benchmark data is approximate. But all video cards met the average system requirements of games. To be sure exactly how much performance the processor will be in games, if you compare it in one assembly with the video card that is installed in your computer.

To make a finishing decision on which processor is better, you should also consider the generation of its core. It is clear that the newer the generation, the better the performance of the processor in games and benchmarks, as well as its energy efficiency. In this case the Core i5-12500T is more energy efficient than the Xeon Gold 6130T as it consumes less power: 35W vs. 125W. Power consumption is especially important for laptops. Also, when choosing a processor cooling system, you must know its TDP. It is necessary to calculate so that the TDP data specified in the cooler specification is greater than the TDP of the compared processor.

Software benchmarks

If you plan to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for programming, machine learning, video editing or video rendering, streaming, then the main parameter for you is its performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, the processor includes all threads and cores that it has to the maximum to achieve maximum efficiency. You will learn this data from the benchmark tables below. Before you take into account the data from these tests, be sure to check whether the software you are going to use on your computer supports multi-threaded mode. Because there are still many programs that can use only one core to run, and all the advantages of multi-core mode are unused.

Comparison of specifications

In the specification comparison table, the most useful will be the release date of the processor and the possibility of overclocking it. The newer the processor, the longer it will last you. And the easier it will be to upgrade the system later. The same benefits from the presence of overclocking. If the processor can be overclocked, increasing its performance, then it will still be able to produce maximum FPS in new games. Accordingly, you do not need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer. The savings are obvious!

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here Core i5-12500T is 36% better than Xeon Gold 6130T in terms of CPU frequency. Another difference is that Xeon Gold 6130T has 10 more core than Core i5-12500T. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption (relevant for laptops).

Result:
The number of parameters for which Intel Core i5-12500T is better: 15
The number of parameters for which Intel Xeon Gold 6130T is better: 20
However, it should be understood that all the data in the table above do not mean that you should be guided entirely by them and trust a simple comparison of these figures. Be sure to watch benchmarks video and read the opinion of real owners of Intel Core i5-12500T and Intel Xeon Gold 6130T before deciding which of the CPUs to buy for gaming.
