Core i5-10500 vs Xeon E5-2670 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-10500 beats the Xeon E5-2670 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2670 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2670 has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Core i5-10500 has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-10500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-10500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2670. Also, the Core i5-10500 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-10500 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2670 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-10500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
