Intel Xeon X5647 vs Intel Core i7-1260U

Xeon X5647 vs Core i7-1260U comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon X5647 beats the Core i7-1260U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-1260U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-1260U has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Xeon X5647 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon X5647. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon X5647 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1260U. Despite this, the Core i7-1260U has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1260U outputs less heat than Xeon X5647 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i7-1260U has more L2 cache than the Xeon X5647. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Xeon X5647 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
