Xeon E5-2690 v3 vs Core Ultra 5 135U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2690 v3 beats the Core Ultra 5 135U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core Ultra 5 135U 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 Ultra 5 135U. Despite this, the Core Ultra 5 135U 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 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
