Intel Xeon E5-1650 v4 vs Intel Core i5-1245U

Xeon E5-1650 v4 vs Core i5-1245U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-1650 v4 beats the Core i5-1245U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-1245U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-1245U has significantly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Xeon E5-1650 v4 has 6 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1650 v4 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1245U. Despite this, the Core i5-1245U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1245U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1650 v4 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 Xeon E5-1650 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
