Intel Core i5-10600KF vs Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3

Core i5-10600KF vs Xeon E5-2640 v3 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 is faster than the Core i5-10600KF. Despite this, the Core i5-10600KF has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has slightly more cores than the Core i5-10600KF. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-10600KF. It also has more threads than the Core i5-10600KF. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-10600KF has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2640 v3. Also, the Core i5-10600KF has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-2640 v3 outputs less heat than Core i5-10600KF thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-10600KF has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
