Intel Xeon Silver 4110 vs Intel Core i7-1265U

Xeon Silver 4110 vs Core i7-1265U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon Silver 4110 beats the Core i7-1265U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-1265U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-1265U has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Xeon Silver 4110 that has 8 cores. Despite this, the Xeon Silver 4110 has more threads than the Core i7-1265U. Our comparison shows that the Xeon Silver 4110 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1265U. Despite this, the Core i7-1265U has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1265U outputs less heat than Xeon Silver 4110 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 Silver 4110 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
