Intel Core i5-12400F vs Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3

Core i5-12400F vs Xeon E5-2683 v3 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-12400F beats the Xeon E5-2683 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2683 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2683 v3 has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Core i5-12400F that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12400F. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-12400F has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2683 v3. Also, the Core i5-12400F has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-12400F CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2683 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 i5-12400F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
