Core i5-8265U vs Xeon E3-1245 v3 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E3-1245 v3 is faster than the Core i5-8265U. Despite this, the Core i5-8265U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E3-1245 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-8265U. Despite this, the Core i5-8265U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8265U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1245 v3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Core i5-8265U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
