Intel Core i5-10400 vs Intel Xeon E5-2640 v4

Core i5-10400 vs Xeon E5-2640 v4 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-10400 is faster than the Xeon E5-2640 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2640 v4 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2640 v4 has significantly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Core i5-10400 has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-10400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-10400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2640 v4. Also, the Core i5-10400 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-10400 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2640 v4 CPU because of its slightly 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 i5-10400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
