Intel Core i5-10400 vs Intel Xeon E5-2687W v3

Core i5-10400 vs Xeon E5-2687W v3 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2687W v3 beats the Core i5-10400 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-10400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has significantly more cores than the Core i5-10400. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-10400. It also has more threads than the Core i5-10400. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10400. Despite this, the Core i5-10400 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-10400 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2687W v3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-10400. The Xeon E5-2687W v3 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i5-10400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
