Intel Core i3-10300 vs Intel Xeon X5670

Core i3-10300 vs Xeon X5670 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon X5670 performs better than the Core i3-10300. Despite this, the Core i3-10300 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon X5670 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Core i3-10300 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-10300. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-10300 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon X5670. Also, the Core i3-10300 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-10300 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5670 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Xeon X5670 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i3-10300. The Xeon X5670 also has significantly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i3-10300 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
