Intel Xeon E5-2650 vs Intel Core i7-1260U

Xeon E5-2650 vs Core i7-1260U comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-1260U is faster than the Xeon E5-2650. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2650 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-1260U has slightly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Xeon E5-2650 has 8 cores. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2650 has more threads than the Core i7-1260U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2650 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1260U. Despite this, the Core i7-1260U has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1260U outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2650 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2650 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
