Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 vs Intel Core i5-12500H

Xeon E5-2690 v4 vs Core i5-12500H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 is faster than the Core i5-12500H. Despite this, the Core i5-12500H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has slightly more cores than the Core i5-12500H. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has 14 cores compared to 12 cores found in the Core i5-12500H. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12500H. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12500H. Despite this, the Core i5-12500H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-12500H 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.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
