Intel Core i3-10100 vs Intel Xeon E5-2620

Core i3-10100 vs Xeon E5-2620 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-10100 beats the Xeon E5-2620 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2620 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2620 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i3-10100 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-10100. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i3-10100 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2620. Also, the Core i3-10100 has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-10100 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2620 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 Core i3-10100 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
