Xeon E5-2650 v3 vs Core i7-1255U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-1255U performs better than the Xeon E5-2650 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2650 v3 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Xeon E5-2650 v3 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2650 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-1255U. Despite this, the Core i7-1255U has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1255U 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.

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 E5-2650 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
