Intel Core i5-8365U vs Intel Xeon E3-1225

Core i5-8365U vs Xeon E3-1225 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-8365U performs better than the Xeon E3-1225. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1225 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-8365U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1225 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8365U. Despite this, the Core i5-8365U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8365U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1225 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-8365U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
