Intel Xeon E5-2670 v2 vs Intel Core i5-1335U

Xeon E5-2670 v2 vs Core i5-1335U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-1335U beats the Xeon E5-2670 v2 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2670 v2 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon E5-2670 v2 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2670 v2 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1335U. Despite this, the Core i5-1335U has a slightly higher turbo speed.

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 E5-2670 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
