Intel Xeon E5-2667 v2 vs Intel Core i5-1240P

Xeon E5-2667 v2 vs Core i5-1240P specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2667 v2 beats the Core i5-1240P in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-1240P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-1240P has significantly more cores than the Xeon E5-2667 v2. Indeed, the Core i5-1240P has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Xeon E5-2667 v2. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2667 v2 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-1240P. Despite this, the Core i5-1240P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1240P outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2667 v2 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 E5-2667 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
