Intel Xeon W-2133 vs Intel Core i5-1240P

Xeon W-2133 vs Core i5-1240P comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon W-2133 beats the Core i5-1240P in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-1240P in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-1240P has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Xeon W-2133 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2133. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-2133 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1240P. Despite this, the Core i5-1240P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1240P outputs less heat than Xeon W-2133 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 W-2133 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
