Core i7-10510U vs Xeon E5-520 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-10510U performs better than the Xeon E5-520. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-520 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-10510U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-520 has a slightly higher clock speed than 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 E5-520 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and 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.
