Xeon E5-2640 v4 vs Core i5-1245U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-1245U performs better than the Xeon E5-2640 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2640 v4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon E5-2640 v4 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2640 v4 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1245U. Despite this, the Core i5-1245U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1245U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2640 v4 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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