Xeon E5-2630 v4 vs Core Ultra 5 125U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2630 v4 performs better than the Core Ultra 5 125U. Despite this, the Core Ultra 5 125U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core Ultra 5 125U has slightly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Xeon E5-2630 v4 that has 10 cores. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2630 v4 has more threads than the Core Ultra 5 125U. Our comparison shows that the Core Ultra 5 125U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2630 v4. Also, the Core Ultra 5 125U has a slightly 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 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
