Xeon E5-2640 vs Core i3-1125G4 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2640 beats the Core i3-1125G4 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i3-1125G4 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2640 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i3-1125G4 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-1125G4. The Core i3-1125G4 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2640 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 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
