Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 vs Intel CoreT i5-1340P

Xeon E5-2620 v3 vs CoreT i5-1340P benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the CoreT i5-1340P beats the Xeon E5-2620 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2620 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the CoreT i5-1340P has significantly more cores than the Xeon E5-2620 v3. Indeed, the CoreT i5-1340P has 12 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon E5-2620 v3. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2620 v3. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2620 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed than the CoreT i5-1340P.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2620 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
