Intel Xeon E5-2640 vs Intel Core i5-8300H

Xeon E5-2640 vs Core i5-8300H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-8300H 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 i5-8300H has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8300H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2640 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-8300H. Despite this, the Core i5-8300H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-8300H 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 info from our database shows that the Xeon E5-2640 has more L2 cache than the Core i5-8300H. The Xeon E5-2640 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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.
