Xeon E5-2683 v4 vs Core i5-12450HX comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-12450HX performs better than the Xeon E5-2683 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2683 v4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2683 v4 has significantly more cores with 16 cores compared to the Core i5-12450HX that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12450HX. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-12450HX has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2683 v4. Also, the Core i5-12450HX has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-12450HX outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2683 v4 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 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
