Xeon E5-1660 v3 vs Core i5-13420H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-13420H 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.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon E5-1660 v3 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-1660 v3 has a much higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-13420H. Despite this, the Core i5-13420H has a slightly higher turbo speed.

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 E5-1660 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
