Intel Core i7-10510U vs Intel Xeon E3-1220 v5

Core i7-10510U vs Xeon E3-1220 v5 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-10510U beats the Xeon E3-1220 v5 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1220 v5 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Core i7-10510U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1220 v5 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10510U. Despite this, the Core i7-10510U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10510U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1220 v5 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

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 i7-10510U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
