Xeon E5-2630 v4 vs Core Ultra 9 288V benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core Ultra 9 288V 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.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2630 v4 has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core Ultra 9 288V that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core Ultra 9 288V. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core Ultra 9 288V has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2630 v4. Also, the Core Ultra 9 288V 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 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
