Intel Core i7-12800H vs Intel Xeon E5-2687W v4

Core i7-12800H vs Xeon E5-2687W v4 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2687W v4 beats the Core i7-12800H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-12800H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-12800H has slightly more cores than the Xeon E5-2687W v4. Indeed, the Core i7-12800H has 14 cores compared to 12 cores found in the Xeon E5-2687W v4. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2687W v4 has more threads than the Core i7-12800H. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2687W v4 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-12800H. Despite this, the Core i7-12800H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-12800H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2687W 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 Core i7-12800H has slightly more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-2687W v4. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2687W v4 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i7-12800H.

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