Intel Core i5-11400 vs Intel Xeon Silver 4210R

Core i5-11400 vs Xeon Silver 4210R benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon Silver 4210R performs better than the Core i5-11400. Despite this, the Core i5-11400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon Silver 4210R has significantly more cores than the Core i5-11400. Indeed, the Xeon Silver 4210R has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-11400. It also has more threads than the Core i5-11400. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-11400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Silver 4210R. Also, the Core i5-11400 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-11400 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon Silver 4210R 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 i5-11400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
