Intel Core i5-1155G7 vs Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3

Core i5-1155G7 vs Xeon E5-2680 v3 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2680 v3 is faster than the Core i5-1155G7. Despite this, the Core i5-1155G7 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2680 v3 has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Core i5-1155G7 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-1155G7. In terms of clock speed, the Core i5-1155G7 and Xeon E5-2680 v3 are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Core i5-1155G7 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-1155G7 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2680 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 i5-1155G7 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
