Xeon E5-1660 v3 vs Core i5-1335U comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-1335U performs better 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.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-1335U has slightly more cores than the Xeon E5-1660 v3. Indeed, the Core i5-1335U has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Xeon E5-1660 v3. Despite this, the Xeon E5-1660 v3 has more threads than the Core i5-1335U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1660 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1335U. Despite this, the Core i5-1335U has a slightly higher turbo speed.
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 E5-1660 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
