Intel Xeon X5675 vs Intel Core i7-1260P

Xeon X5675 vs Core i7-1260P benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-1260P beats the Xeon X5675 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5675 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1260P has significantly more cores than the Xeon X5675. Indeed, the Core i7-1260P has 12 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon X5675. It also has more threads than the Xeon X5675. Our comparison shows that the Xeon X5675 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1260P. Despite this, the Core i7-1260P has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i7-1260P outputs less heat than Xeon X5675 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i7-1260P has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon X5675. The Core i7-1260P also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 X5675 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
