Core i5-11260H vs Xeon E5-2643 v2 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2643 v2 is faster than the Core i5-11260H. Despite this, the Core i5-11260H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2643 v2 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 E5-2643 v2 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-11260H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
