Xeon E5-2670 v3 vs Core i7-1260P comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2670 v3 performs better than the Core i7-1260P. Despite this, the Core i7-1260P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon E5-2670 v3 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2670 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-1260P. Despite this, the Core i7-1260P has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1260P 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.
