Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 vs Intel Core i5-12450H

Xeon E5-2670 v3 vs Core i5-12450H benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-12450H beats the Xeon E5-2670 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2670 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2670 v3 has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Core i5-12450H that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12450H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2670 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12450H. Despite this, the Core i5-12450H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-12450H outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2670 v3 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 E5-2670 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
