Intel Xeon W-2133 vs Intel Core 5 120U

Xeon W-2133 vs Core 5 120U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W-2133 is faster than the Core 5 120U. Despite this, the Core 5 120U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core 5 120U has significantly more cores than the Xeon W-2133. Indeed, the Core 5 120U has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon W-2133. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon W-2133 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core 5 120U.

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 W-2133 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
