5.8. Function EQ

EQ compares CHARACTERs and FIXNUMs as EQL does. No unnecessary copies are made of CHARACTERs and NUMBERs. Nevertheless, one should use EQL as it is more portable across Common Lisp implementations.

(LET ((x y)) (EQ x x)) always returns T for any Lisp object y. See also Equality of foreign values.
