Intel Core i5-8300H vs Intel Xeon E5-2630 v2

Core i5-8300H vs Xeon E5-2630 v2 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8300H is faster than the Xeon E5-2630 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2630 v2 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2630 v2 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i5-8300H has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8300H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2630 v2 has a slightly 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 E5-2630 v2 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-8300H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
