Intel Core i5-6402P vs Intel Xeon X5650

Core i5-6402P vs Xeon X5650 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-6402P beats the Xeon X5650 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5650 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon X5650 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-6402P. Indeed, the Xeon X5650 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-6402P. It also has more threads than the Core i5-6402P. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-6402P has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon X5650. Also, the Core i5-6402P has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-6402P CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5650 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 Xeon X5650 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-6402P. The Xeon X5650 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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