Xeon E5-2630 v3 vs Core i5-12450H specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12450H is faster than the Xeon E5-2630 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2630 v3 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon E5-2630 v3 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2630 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12450H. Despite this, the Core i5-12450H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-12450H outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2630 v3 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 E5-2630 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
