Core i5-11500 vs Xeon E-2186M comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-11500 beats the Xeon E-2186M in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E-2186M in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E-2186M has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-11500. Also, the Xeon E-2186M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E-2186M outputs less heat than Core i5-11500 thanks to a 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 i5-11500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
