Xeon E5-2630 v4 vs Core i5-1235U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-1235U beats the Xeon E5-2630 v4 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2630 v4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon E5-2630 v4 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2630 v4 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-1235U. Despite this, the Core i5-1235U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1235U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2630 v4 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 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
