Intel Xeon E5-2678 v3 vs Intel Core i5-1340P

Xeon E5-2678 v3 vs Core i5-1340P comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2678 v3 performs better than the Core i5-1340P. Despite this, the Core i5-1340P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon E5-2678 v3 has more threads.

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.
