Xeon Gold 6126 vs Core i7-12650HX benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon Gold 6126 is faster than the Core i7-12650HX. Despite this, the Core i7-12650HX has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-12650HX has slightly more cores than the Xeon Gold 6126. Indeed, the Core i7-12650HX has 14 cores compared to 12 cores found in the Xeon Gold 6126. Despite this, the Xeon Gold 6126 has more threads than the Core i7-12650HX. Our comparison shows that the Xeon Gold 6126 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-12650HX. Despite this, the Core i7-12650HX has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-12650HX outputs less heat than Xeon Gold 6126 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon Gold 6126 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-12650HX. The Xeon Gold 6126 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 Gold 6126 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
