Intel Xeon E5-2696 v2 vs Intel Core i7-11600H

Xeon E5-2696 v2 vs Core i7-11600H specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2696 v2 is faster than the Core i7-11600H. Despite this, the Core i7-11600H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2696 v2 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-11600H. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2696 v2 has 12 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i7-11600H. It also has more threads than the Core i7-11600H.

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 E5-2696 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
