Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 vs Intel Core i7-1260P

Xeon E5-2699 v3 vs Core i7-1260P specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-1260P is faster than the Xeon E5-2699 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2699 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2699 v3 has significantly more cores with 18 cores compared to the Core i7-1260P that has 12 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-1260P. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2699 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-1260P. Despite this, the Core i7-1260P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1260P outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2699 v3 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2699 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
