Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 vs Intel Core i7-1365U

Xeon E5-2670 v3 vs Core i7-1365U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-1365U performs better than the Xeon E5-2670 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2670 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2670 v3 has slightly more cores than the Core i7-1365U. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2670 v3 has 12 cores compared to 10 cores found in the Core i7-1365U. It also has more threads than the Core i7-1365U. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2670 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1365U. Despite this, the Core i7-1365U has a significantly 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 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
