Intel Xeon X5670 vs Intel Core i3-1215U

Xeon X5670 vs Core i3-1215U specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X5670 is faster than the Core i3-1215U. Despite this, the Core i3-1215U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Xeon X5670 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon X5670 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-1215U. Despite this, the Core i3-1215U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-1215U outputs less heat than Xeon X5670 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 Core i3-1215U has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon X5670. Despite this, the Xeon X5670 has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Core i3-1215U.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Xeon X5670 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
