Intel Core i7-12700H vs Intel Xeon E5-2670

Core i7-12700H vs Xeon E5-2670 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-12700H is faster than the Xeon E5-2670. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2670 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-12700H has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Xeon E5-2670 that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2670. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2670 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-12700H. Despite this, the Core i7-12700H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-12700H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2670 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-12700H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
