Intel Core i7-10510U vs Intel Xeon E5-2640

Core i7-10510U vs Xeon E5-2640 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2640 is faster than the Core i7-10510U. Despite this, the Core i7-10510U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2640 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i7-10510U that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-10510U. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2640 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10510U. Despite this, the Core i7-10510U has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10510U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2640 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, the Xeon E5-2640 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-10510U. The Xeon E5-2640 also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-10510U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
