Core i7-12650H vs Xeon Gold 6138 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon Gold 6138 beats the Core i7-12650H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-12650H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon Gold 6138 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-12650H. Indeed, the Xeon Gold 6138 has 20 cores compared to 10 cores found in the Core i7-12650H. It also has more threads than the Core i7-12650H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-12650H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Gold 6138. Also, the Core i7-12650H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-12650H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon Gold 6138 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Xeon Gold 6138 has more L2 cache than the Core i7-12650H. The Xeon Gold 6138 also has slightly 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.
