Intel Xeon E5-2690 v2 vs Intel Core Ultra 7 155U

Xeon E5-2690 v2 vs Core Ultra 7 155U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2690 v2 beats the Core Ultra 7 155U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core Ultra 7 155U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core Ultra 7 155U has slightly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Xeon E5-2690 v2 that has 10 cores. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has more threads than the Core Ultra 7 155U. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has a much higher clock speed compared to the Core Ultra 7 155U. Despite this, the Core Ultra 7 155U has a slightly higher turbo speed.

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.
