Intel Xeon E5-2470 v2 vs Intel Core i7-12800H

Xeon E5-2470 v2 vs Core i7-12800H specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-12800H performs better than the Xeon E5-2470 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2470 v2 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-12800H has slightly more cores than the Xeon E5-2470 v2. Indeed, the Core i7-12800H has 14 cores compared to 10 cores found in the Xeon E5-2470 v2. But they both have the same number of threads. According to our data, the Xeon E5-2470 v2 and Core i7-12800H have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i7-12800H has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-12800H outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2470 v2 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 E5-2470 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
