Core i5-6300HQ vs Xeon E5-440 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-440 beats the Core i5-6300HQ in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-6300HQ has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-440 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6300HQ.

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. For instance, the Core i5-6300HQ has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
