Intel Core i5-8300H vs Intel Xeon E5-2670

Core i5-8300H vs Xeon E5-2670 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-8300H beats the Xeon E5-2670 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2670 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2670 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-8300H. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2670 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-8300H. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8300H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2670 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 E5-2670 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.
