Core i3-10300 vs Xeon E5-2630 v4 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2630 v4 is faster than the Core i3-10300. Despite this, the Core i3-10300 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2630 v4 has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i3-10300 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-10300. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-10300 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2630 v4. Also, the Core i3-10300 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-10300 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2630 v4 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 Core i3-10300 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
