Xeon E5-2650 v3 vs Core Ultra 5 135U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core Ultra 5 135U 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.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core Ultra 5 135U 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 Ultra 5 135U. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2650 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 5 135U. Despite this, the Core Ultra 5 135U 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.
