Intel Xeon E5-2420 vs Intel Core i5-6402P

Xeon E5-2420 vs Core i5-6402P specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-6402P is faster than the Xeon E5-2420. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2420 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2420 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-6402P. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2420 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-6402P. It also has more threads than the Core i5-6402P. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-6402P has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2420. Also, the Core i5-6402P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-6402P outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2420 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 E5-2420 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
