Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 vs Intel Core i7-1265U

Xeon E5-2640 v3 vs Core i7-1265U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 is faster than the Core i7-1265U. Despite this, the Core i7-1265U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1265U has slightly more cores than the Xeon E5-2640 v3. Indeed, the Core i7-1265U has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Xeon E5-2640 v3. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has more threads than the Core i7-1265U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1265U. Despite this, the Core i7-1265U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1265U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2640 v3 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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