Xeon E5-2680 v3 vs Core Ultra 5 135U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core Ultra 5 135U performs better than the Xeon E5-2680 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2680 v3 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Xeon E5-2680 v3 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2680 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core Ultra 5 135U. Despite this, the Core Ultra 5 135U has a slightly 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 E5-2680 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
