Intel Xeon E5-2630 v4 vs Intel Core i5-1240P

Xeon E5-2630 v4 vs Core i5-1240P benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-1240P performs better than the Xeon E5-2630 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2630 v4 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-1240P has slightly more cores with 12 cores whereas the Xeon E5-2630 v4 has 10 cores. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2630 v4 has more threads than the Core i5-1240P. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2630 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-1240P. Despite this, the Core i5-1240P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1240P 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.

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 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
