Intel Core i5-10600K vs Intel Xeon E5-2650 v2

Core i5-10600K vs Xeon E5-2650 v2 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-10600K is faster than the Xeon E5-2650 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2650 v2 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2650 v2 has slightly more cores than the Core i5-10600K. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2650 v2 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-10600K. It also has more threads than the Core i5-10600K. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-10600K has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2650 v2. Also, the Core i5-10600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-2650 v2 outputs less heat than Core i5-10600K thanks to a 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 i5-10600K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
