Intel Core i5-11500 vs Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3

Core i5-11500 vs Xeon E5-2630 v3 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2630 v3 beats the Core i5-11500 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-11500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2630 v3 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-11500 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11500. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-11500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2630 v3. Also, the Core i5-11500 has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-11500 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPU because of its slightly 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.
