Intel Xeon E5-2687W vs Intel Core i7-1355U

Xeon E5-2687W vs Core i7-1355U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-1355U performs better than the Xeon E5-2687W. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2687W in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-1355U has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Xeon E5-2687W that has 8 cores. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2687W has more threads than the Core i7-1355U. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2687W has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1355U. Despite this, the Core i7-1355U has a slightly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, the Core i7-1355U 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 i7-1355U.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
