Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 vs Intel Core i5-1240P

Xeon E5-2650 v3 vs Core i5-1240P specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2650 v3 beats the Core i5-1240P in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-1240P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-1240P has slightly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Xeon E5-2650 v3 that has 10 cores. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2650 v3 has more threads than the Core i5-1240P. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2650 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1240P. Despite this, the Core i5-1240P has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1240P outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2650 v3 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 E5-2650 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
