Intel Xeon E5-2630 vs Intel Core 5 120U

Xeon E5-2630 vs Core 5 120U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 5 120U is faster than the Xeon E5-2630. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2630 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core 5 120U has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Xeon E5-2630 that has 6 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2630 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 5 120U.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2630 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
