Intel Core i5-1245U vs Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4

Core i5-1245U vs Xeon E5-2660 v4 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2660 v4 is faster than the Core i5-1245U. Despite this, the Core i5-1245U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has slightly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Core i5-1245U that has 10 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-1245U. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1245U. Despite this, the Core i5-1245U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-1245U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-1245U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E5-2660 v4. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-1245U.

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 i5-1245U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
