Intel Core i5-9300H vs Intel Xeon E3-1270 V2

Core i5-9300H vs Xeon E3-1270 V2 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-9300H beats the Xeon E3-1270 V2 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1270 V2 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1270 V2 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9300H.

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 i5-9300H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
