Intel Xeon E-2186M vs Intel Core i5-1240P

Xeon E-2186M vs Core i5-1240P comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E-2186M performs better than the Core i5-1240P. Despite this, the Core i5-1240P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-1240P has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Xeon E-2186M that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E-2186M. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E-2186M has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1240P. Also, the Xeon E-2186M has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1240P outputs less heat than Xeon E-2186M thanks to a 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 Xeon E-2186M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
