Intel Core i5-9300H vs Intel Xeon E3-1240 v3

Core i5-9300H vs Xeon E3-1240 v3 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-9300H beats the Xeon E3-1240 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1240 v3 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1240 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9300H. Despite this, the Core i5-9300H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-9300H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1240 v3 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 i5-9300H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
