Intel Core i5-1245U vs Intel Xeon E5-2687W v3

Core i5-1245U vs Xeon E5-2687W v3 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2687W v3 beats the Core i5-1245U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-1245U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has a significantly 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 E5-2687W v3 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 E5-2687W v3. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-1245U.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-1245U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
