Intel Core i7-10610U vs Intel Xeon E5-2620

Core i7-10610U vs Xeon E5-2620 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2620 beats the Core i7-10610U in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-10610U has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2620 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i7-10610U that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-10610U. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2620 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10610U. Despite this, the Core i7-10610U has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10610U CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2620 CPU because of its significantly 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. Indeed, the Core i7-10610U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
