Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 vs Intel Core Ultra 5 125H

Xeon E5-2699 v3 vs Core Ultra 5 125H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2699 v3 is faster than the Core Ultra 5 125H. Despite this, the Core Ultra 5 125H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2699 v3 has slightly more cores with 18 cores compared to the Core Ultra 5 125H that has 14 cores. It also has more threads than the Core Ultra 5 125H. Our comparison shows that the Core Ultra 5 125H has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2699 v3. Also, the Core Ultra 5 125H has a slightly 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.
