Intel Core i5-5200U vs Intel Xeon E3-1220 v3

Core i5-5200U vs Xeon E3-1220 v3 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E3-1220 v3 is faster than the Core i5-5200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-5200U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E3-1220 v3 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-5200U. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1220 v3 has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i5-5200U. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1220 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-5200U. Also, the Xeon E3-1220 v3 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-5200U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1220 v3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-5200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
