Intel Core i5-11500H vs Intel Xeon E5-2678 v3

Core i5-11500H vs Xeon E5-2678 v3 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-11500H is faster than the Xeon E5-2678 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2678 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2678 v3 has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Core i5-11500H that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11500H. A Core i5-11500H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2678 v3 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 i5-11500H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
