Xeon E5-2697A v4 vs Core Ultra 9 185H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core Ultra 9 185H is faster than the Xeon E5-2697A v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2697A v4 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon E5-2697A v4 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2697A v4 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core Ultra 9 185H. Despite this, the Core Ultra 9 185H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core Ultra 9 185H has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-2697A v4. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2697A v4 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core Ultra 9 185H.

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 E5-2697A v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
