Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 vs Intel Core i5-13500H

Xeon E5-2640 v3 vs Core i5-13500H benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-13500H 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 i5-13500H has significantly more cores than the Xeon E5-2640 v3. Indeed, the Core i5-13500H has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Xeon E5-2640 v3. But they both have the same number of threads. In terms of clock speed, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 and Core i5-13500H are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Core i5-13500H 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.
