Core i5-8265U vs Xeon E5-620 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-620 is faster than the Core i5-8265U. Despite this, the Core i5-8265U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-620 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8265U. Despite this, the Core i5-8265U has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8265U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-620 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i5-8265U has more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-620. The Core i5-8265U 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. Indeed, the Core i5-8265U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
