Intel Core i5-8350U vs Intel Xeon E3-1245 v3

Core i5-8350U vs Xeon E3-1245 v3 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1245 v3 beats the Core i5-8350U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-8350U in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1245 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8350U. Also, the Xeon E3-1245 v3 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8350U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1245 v3 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 i5-8350U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
