Core i5-11260H vs Xeon E-2146G benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-11260H performs better than the Xeon E-2146G. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E-2146G in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E-2146G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11260H. Also, the Xeon E-2146G has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-11260H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E-2146G CPU because of its 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 Core i5-11260H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
