Intel Core i3-10100 vs Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3

Core i3-10100 vs Xeon E5-2630 v3 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2630 v3 is faster than the Core i3-10100. Despite this, the Core i3-10100 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2630 v3 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i3-10100 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-10100. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-10100 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2630 v3. Also, the Core i3-10100 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-10100 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPU because of its slightly 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.
