Xeon E5-2640 vs Core i5-1135G7 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-1135G7 performs better than the Xeon E5-2640. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2640 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2640 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-1135G7 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-1135G7. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2640 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1135G7. Despite this, the Core i5-1135G7 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1135G7 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.

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