Intel Core i3-10300 vs Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4

Core i3-10300 vs Xeon E5-2650 v4 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2650 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 E5-2650 v4 has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Core i3-10300 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-10300. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-10300 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2650 v4. Also, the Core i3-10300 has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-10300 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2650 v4 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 i3-10300 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
