Intel Core i5-8259U vs Intel Xeon X5570

Core i5-8259U vs Xeon X5570 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X5570 is faster than the Core i5-8259U. Despite this, the Core i5-8259U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-8259U has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon X5570 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8259U. Despite this, the Core i5-8259U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8259U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5570 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Xeon X5570 also has slightly 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. Indeed, the Core i5-8259U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
