Xeon E5-2690 v3 vs Core i7-1270P comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2690 v3 beats the Core i7-1270P in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-1270P has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon E5-2690 v3 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2690 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-1270P. Despite this, the Core i7-1270P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1270P outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2690 v3 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 E5-2690 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
