Xeon E5-2699 v3 vs Core 7 240H benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core 7 240H beats the Xeon E5-2699 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2699 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2699 v3 has significantly more cores than the Core 7 240H. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2699 v3 has 18 cores compared to 10 cores found in the Core 7 240H. It also has more threads than the Core 7 240H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core 7 240H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2699 v3. Also, the Core 7 240H has a significantly 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 E5-2699 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
