Intel Xeon E5-1660 v4 vs Intel Core i5-1245U

Xeon E5-1660 v4 vs Core i5-1245U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-1660 v4 beats the Core i5-1245U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-1245U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-1245U has slightly more cores than the Xeon E5-1660 v4. Indeed, the Core i5-1245U has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Xeon E5-1660 v4. Despite this, the Xeon E5-1660 v4 has more threads than the Core i5-1245U. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-1660 v4 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 v4 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
