Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 vs Intel Core i7-1270P

Xeon E5-2630 v3 vs Core i7-1270P comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2630 v3 performs better than the Core i7-1270P. Despite this, the Core i7-1270P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1270P has significantly more cores than the Xeon E5-2630 v3. Indeed, the Core i7-1270P has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Xeon E5-2630 v3. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2630 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1270P. Despite this, the Core i7-1270P has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1270P 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.
