Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 vs Intel Core i7-12800H

Xeon E5-2630 v3 vs Core i7-12800H benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-12800H beats the Xeon E5-2630 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2630 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-12800H has significantly more cores than the Xeon E5-2630 v3. Indeed, the Core i7-12800H has 14 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Xeon E5-2630 v3. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2630 v3. Both the Xeon E5-2630 v3 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 E5-2630 v3 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2630 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
