Intel Xeon E5-2683 v3 vs Intel Core i7-12800H

Xeon E5-2683 v3 vs Core i7-12800H benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-12800H performs better than the Xeon E5-2683 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2683 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon E5-2683 v3 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-12800H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2683 v3. Also, the Core i7-12800H has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-12800H outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2683 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 E5-2683 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
