Intel Xeon E3-1245 v5 vs Intel Core i3-1215U

Xeon E3-1245 v5 vs Core i3-1215U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-1215U beats the Xeon E3-1245 v5 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1245 v5 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-1215U has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Xeon E3-1245 v5 that has 4 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i3-1215U. Despite this, the Core i3-1215U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-1215U outputs less heat than Xeon E3-1245 v5 thanks to a 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 i3-1215U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E3-1245 v5. The Core i3-1215U also has slightly more L3 cache.

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 E3-1245 v5 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
