Intel Core i7-8750H vs Intel Xeon E5-2696 v2

Core i7-8750H vs Xeon E5-2696 v2 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2696 v2 is faster than the Core i7-8750H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8750H in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2696 v2 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-8750H. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2696 v2 has 12 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i7-8750H. It also has more threads than the Core i7-8750H.

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 i7-8750H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
