Intel Xeon E5-2687W vs Intel Core i5-1240P

Xeon E5-2687W vs Core i5-1240P benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2687W is faster than the Core i5-1240P. Despite this, the Core i5-1240P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-1240P has significantly more cores than the Xeon E5-2687W. Indeed, the Core i5-1240P has 12 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Xeon E5-2687W. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2687W has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1240P. Despite this, the Core i5-1240P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1240P outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2687W thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-1240P has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E5-2687W. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2687W has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i5-1240P.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
