Intel Core i5-10210U vs Intel Xeon E5-2420

Core i5-10210U vs Xeon E5-2420 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-10210U is faster than the Xeon E5-2420. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2420 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2420 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-10210U. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2420 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i5-10210U. It also has more threads than the Core i5-10210U. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2420 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-10210U. Despite this, the Core i5-10210U has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-10210U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2420 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 i5-10210U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
