Xeon E5-2640 v4 vs Core 5 120U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2640 v4 beats the Core 5 120U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core 5 120U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon E5-2640 v4 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2640 v4 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core 5 120U.

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 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
