Xeon E5-2666 v3 vs Core i5-13420H specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2666 v3 beats the Core i5-13420H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-13420H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2666 v3 has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i5-13420H that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-13420H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2666 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-13420H. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-13420H has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-2666 v3. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2666 v3 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-13420H.
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 E5-2666 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
