Intel Core i5-11260H vs Intel Xeon E5-1660 v4

Core i5-11260H vs Xeon E5-1660 v4 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-1660 v4 is faster than the Core i5-11260H. Despite this, the Core i5-11260H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-1660 v4 has slightly more cores than the Core i5-11260H. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1660 v4 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-11260H. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11260H. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-1660 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-11260H. Despite this, the Core i5-11260H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-11260H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1660 v4 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.
