Core i5-10400F vs Xeon E-2146G comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E-2146G beats the Core i5-10400F in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-10400F has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E-2146G has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i5-10400F. Also, the Xeon E-2146G has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-10400F CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E-2146G CPU because of its slightly 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 i5-10400F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
