Intel Core i7-12800H vs Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4

Core i7-12800H vs Xeon E5-2660 v4 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-12800H beats the Xeon E5-2660 v4 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2660 v4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-12800H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2660 v4. Also, the Core i7-12800H has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-12800H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i7-12800H has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E5-2660 v4. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i7-12800H.

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 i7-12800H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
