Intel Core i5-8300H vs Intel Xeon E3-1270 v3

Core i5-8300H vs Xeon E3-1270 v3 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1270 v3 beats the Core i5-8300H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-8300H 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 E3-1270 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8300H. Despite this, the Core i5-8300H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8300H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1270 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 i5-8300H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
