Xeon E5-2696 v3 vs Core i5-1335U specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2696 v3 performs better than the Core i5-1335U. Despite this, the Core i5-1335U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2696 v3 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-1335U. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2696 v3 has 18 cores compared to 10 cores found in the Core i5-1335U. It also has more threads than the Core i5-1335U.
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 E5-2696 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
