Xeon E5-2678 v3 vs Core i5-1240P specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2678 v3 is faster than the Core i5-1240P. Despite this, the Core i5-1240P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon E5-2678 v3 has more threads. The Core i5-1240P outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2678 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 E5-2678 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
