Xeon E5-2690 v4 vs Core i5-1240P benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-1240P performs better than the Xeon E5-2690 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2690 v4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has slightly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Core i5-1240P that has 12 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-1240P. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1240P. Despite this, the Core i5-1240P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1240P outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2690 v4 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 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
