Core i5-6402P vs Xeon E3-1230 V2 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E3-1230 V2 is faster than the Core i5-6402P. Despite this, the Core i5-6402P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon E3-1230 V2 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1230 V2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6402P. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Xeon E3-1230 V2 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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. For instance, the Core i5-6402P has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
