Xeon E5-1660 v3 vs Core i5-1245U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-1245U is faster than the Xeon E5-1660 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1660 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-1245U has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Xeon E5-1660 v3 that has 8 cores. Despite this, the Xeon E5-1660 v3 has more threads than the Core i5-1245U. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-1660 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed than 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 E5-1660 v3 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 E5-1660 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
