Intel Xeon E5-1650 vs Intel Core i5-12500H

Xeon E5-1650 vs Core i5-12500H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12500H is faster than the Xeon E5-1650. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1650 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-12500H has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Xeon E5-1650 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-1650. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1650 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12500H. Despite this, the Core i5-12500H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-12500H outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1650 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1650 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
