Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 vs Intel Core i7-1270P

Xeon E5-2640 v3 vs Core i7-1270P specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-1270P 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 i7-1270P has significantly more cores than the Xeon E5-2640 v3. Indeed, the Core i7-1270P has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Xeon E5-2640 v3. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1270P. Despite this, the Core i7-1270P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1270P 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.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
