Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3 vs Intel CoreT i5-13500H

Xeon E5-2697 v3 vs CoreT i5-13500H benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the CoreT i5-13500H performs better than the Xeon E5-2697 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2697 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2697 v3 has slightly more cores than the CoreT i5-13500H. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2697 v3 has 14 cores compared to 12 cores found in the CoreT i5-13500H. It also has more threads than the CoreT i5-13500H. In terms of clock speed, the Xeon E5-2697 v3 and CoreT i5-13500H are identical in this regard.

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 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
