Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 vs Intel Core Ultra 7 155U

Xeon E5-2630 v3 vs Core Ultra 7 155U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2630 v3 performs better than the Core Ultra 7 155U. Despite this, the Core Ultra 7 155U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core Ultra 7 155U has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Xeon E5-2630 v3 that has 8 cores. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2630 v3 has more threads than the Core Ultra 7 155U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2630 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 7 155U. Despite this, the Core Ultra 7 155U has a significantly higher turbo speed.

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 E5-2630 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
