Core i5-11400H vs Xeon E5-2660 v4 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11400H beats the Xeon E5-2660 v4 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2660 v4 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-11400H. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has 14 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-11400H. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11400H. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-11400H has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2660 v4. Also, the Core i5-11400H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-11400H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i5-11400H has more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-2660 v4. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-11400H.

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 i5-11400H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
