Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 vs Intel Core i7-1365U

Xeon E5-2650 v3 vs Core i7-1365U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2650 v3 beats the Core i7-1365U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-1365U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon E5-2650 v3 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2650 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1365U. Despite this, the Core i7-1365U has a significantly higher turbo speed.

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.
