Intel Core i5-7200U vs Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3

Core i5-7200U vs Xeon E5-2620 v3 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2620 v3 is faster than the Core i5-7200U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7200U in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2620 v3 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i5-7200U has 2 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7200U. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-7200U has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2620 v3. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2620 v3 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-7200U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2620 v3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Core i5-7200U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
