Xeon E5-2678 v3 vs Core i5-12450H specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-12450H performs better than the Xeon E5-2678 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2678 v3 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2678 v3 has significantly more cores with 12 cores whereas the Core i5-12450H has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12450H. The Core i5-12450H 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.

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 E5-2678 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
