Intel Core i5-12500H vs Intel Xeon E5-2697A v4

Core i5-12500H vs Xeon E5-2697A v4 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2697A v4 beats the Core i5-12500H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-12500H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2697A v4 has slightly more cores than the Core i5-12500H. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2697A v4 has 16 cores compared to 12 cores found in the Core i5-12500H. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12500H. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2697A v4 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-12500H. Despite this, the Core i5-12500H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-12500H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2697A v4 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-12500H has slightly more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-2697A v4. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2697A v4 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-12500H.

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 i5-12500H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
