Intel Core i5-11400F vs Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3

Core i5-11400F vs Xeon E5-2697 v3 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-11400F is faster than the Xeon E5-2697 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2697 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2697 v3 has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Core i5-11400F that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11400F. In terms of clock speed, the Core i5-11400F and Xeon E5-2697 v3 are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Core i5-11400F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-11400F CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2697 v3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-11400F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
