Intel Xeon E5-2690 v2 vs Intel Core i5-1334U

Xeon E5-2690 v2 vs Core i5-1334U benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-1334U is faster than the Xeon E5-2690 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2690 v2 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1334U.

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 E5-2690 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
