Intel Core i5-10400F vs Intel Xeon E3-1231 v3

Core i5-10400F vs Xeon E3-1231 v3 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-10400F is faster than the Xeon E3-1231 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1231 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-10400F has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Xeon E3-1231 v3 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1231 v3. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1231 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10400F. Despite this, the Core i5-10400F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-10400F CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1231 v3 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.
