Intel Core i5-11400H vs Intel Xeon E3-1220

Core i5-11400H vs Xeon E3-1220 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11400H beats the Xeon E3-1220 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1220 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-11400H has significantly more cores than the Xeon E3-1220. Indeed, the Core i5-11400H has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon E3-1220. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1220. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1220 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11400H. Despite this, the Core i5-11400H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-11400H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1220 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 i5-11400H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
