Intel Xeon E5-1660 vs Intel Core i7-1355U

Xeon E5-1660 vs Core i7-1355U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-1660 is faster than the Core i7-1355U. Despite this, the Core i7-1355U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1355U has significantly more cores than the Xeon E5-1660. Indeed, the Core i7-1355U has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon E5-1660. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-1660 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i7-1355U. Despite this, the Core i7-1355U 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 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
