Intel Core i7-12650H vs Intel Xeon E5-2697A v4

Core i7-12650H vs Xeon E5-2697A v4 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-12650H performs better than the Xeon E5-2697A v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2697A v4 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2697A v4 has significantly more cores with 16 cores whereas the Core i7-12650H has 10 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-12650H. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2697A v4 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12650H. Despite this, the Core i7-12650H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-12650H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2697A v4 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2697A v4 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-12650H. The Xeon E5-2697A v4 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i7-12650H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
