Intel Core i5-10300H vs Intel Xeon E5-2660 v2

Core i5-10300H vs Xeon E5-2660 v2 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2660 v2 beats the Core i5-10300H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-10300H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2660 v2 has significantly more cores with 10 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 Core i5-10300H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2660 v2. Also, the Core i5-10300H has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-10300H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2660 v2 CPU because of its significantly 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 i5-10300H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
