Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2 vs Intel Core i7-12800H

Xeon E5-2697 v2 vs Core i7-12800H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2697 v2 is faster than the Core i7-12800H. Despite this, the Core i7-12800H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i7-12800H has slightly more cores with 14 cores whereas the Xeon E5-2697 v2 has 12 cores. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2697 v2 has more threads than the Core i7-12800H. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2697 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12800H. Despite this, the Core i7-12800H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-12800H outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2697 v2 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 E5-2697 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
