Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2 vs Intel Core i5-1350P

Xeon E5-2697 v2 vs Core i5-1350P specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-1350P beats the Xeon E5-2697 v2 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2697 v2 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon E5-2697 v2 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2697 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-1350P. Despite this, the Core i5-1350P 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 E5-2697 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
