Intel Xeon E5-2640 vs Intel Core i5-1155G7

Xeon E5-2640 vs Core i5-1155G7 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-1155G7 is faster than the Xeon E5-2640. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2640 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2640 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i5-1155G7 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-1155G7. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2640 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1155G7. Despite this, the Core i5-1155G7 has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1155G7 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.
