Intel Xeon X5680 vs Intel Core i7-1355U

Xeon X5680 vs Core i7-1355U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-1355U performs better than the Xeon X5680. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5680 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-1355U has significantly more cores than the Xeon X5680. Indeed, the Core i7-1355U has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon X5680. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon X5680 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1355U. Despite this, the Core i7-1355U has a slightly higher turbo speed. In terms of cache, the Core i7-1355U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon X5680. The Core i7-1355U also has significantly more 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 X5680 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
