With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2650 v4 has slightly more cores with 12 cores whereas the Core i7-1265U has 10 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-1265U. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2650 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-1265U. Despite this, the Core i7-1265U has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1265U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2650 v4 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 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
