Core i5-8400H vs Xeon Silver 4110 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon Silver 4110 beats the Core i5-8400H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-8400H 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 i5-8400H has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-8400H. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-8400H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Silver 4110. Also, the Core i5-8400H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-8400H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon Silver 4110 CPU because of its significantly 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 i5-8400H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
