Core i5-8400H vs Xeon E3-1535M v6 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8400H is faster than the Xeon E3-1535M v6. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1535M v6 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1535M v6 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8400H. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches. The Core i5-8400H also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i5-8400H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
