Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 vs Intel Core i5-1340P

Xeon E5-2640 v3 vs Core i5-1340P comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-1340P performs better than the Xeon E5-2640 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2640 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-1340P has significantly more cores than the Xeon E5-2640 v3. Indeed, the Core i5-1340P has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Xeon E5-2640 v3. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1340P. Despite this, the Core i5-1340P has a slightly higher turbo speed.

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 E5-2640 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
