Intel Core i5-10500H vs Intel Xeon E5-2687W

Core i5-10500H vs Xeon E5-2687W specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-10500H beats the Xeon E5-2687W in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2687W in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2687W has slightly more cores than the Core i5-10500H. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-10500H. It also has more threads than the Core i5-10500H. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2687W has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-10500H. Despite this, the Core i5-10500H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-10500H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2687W 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 i5-10500H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
