Intel Xeon E5-2690 v2 vs Intel Core i7-1260P

Xeon E5-2690 v2 vs Core i7-1260P specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-1260P 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.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-1260P has slightly more cores with 12 cores whereas the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has 10 cores. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has more threads than the Core i7-1260P. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has a much higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1260P. Despite this, the Core i7-1260P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1260P outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2690 v2 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 E5-2690 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
