Intel Core i5-11320H vs Intel Xeon E-2186M

Core i5-11320H vs Xeon E-2186M comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E-2186M performs better than the Core i5-11320H. Despite this, the Core i5-11320H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E-2186M has significantly more cores than the Core i5-11320H. Indeed, the Xeon E-2186M has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-11320H. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11320H. A Core i5-11320H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E-2186M CPU because of its slightly 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 i5-11320H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
