Core i9-12900H vs Xeon E5-2690 v4 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 is faster than the Core i9-12900H. Despite this, the Core i9-12900H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i9-12900H. Despite this, the Core i9-12900H has a much higher turbo speed. A Core i9-12900H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2690 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 more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i9-12900H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
