Intel Core i5-6600 vs Intel Xeon Silver 4110

Core i5-6600 vs Xeon Silver 4110 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon Silver 4110 beats the Core i5-6600 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-6600 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon Silver 4110 has significantly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Core i5-6600 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-6600. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-6600 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Silver 4110. Also, the Core i5-6600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-6600 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon Silver 4110 CPU because of its slightly 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. For instance, the Core i5-6600 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
