Intel Core i5-8279U vs Intel Xeon E3-1230 V2

Core i5-8279U vs Xeon E3-1230 V2 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E3-1230 V2 performs better than the Core i5-8279U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8279U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1230 V2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8279U.

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 i5-8279U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
