Intel Xeon E5-2660 vs Intel CoreT i5-1340P

Xeon E5-2660 vs CoreT i5-1340P comparison

In our benchmarks, the CoreT i5-1340P beats the Xeon E5-2660 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2660 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the CoreT i5-1340P has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Xeon E5-2660 that has 8 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2660 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the CoreT i5-1340P.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2660 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
