Intel Core i5-10300H vs Intel Xeon E5-2640

Core i5-10300H vs Xeon E5-2640 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-10300H is faster than the Xeon E5-2640. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2640 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2640 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-10300H that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-10300H. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2640 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10300H. Despite this, the Core i5-10300H has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-10300H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2640 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 E5-2640 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-10300H. The Xeon E5-2640 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i5-10300H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
