Core i7-10610U vs Xeon E5-2640 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-10610U is faster than the Xeon E5-2640. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2640 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2640 has significantly more cores than the Core i7-10610U. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2640 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-10610U. It also has more threads than the Core i7-10610U. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2640 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 E5-2640 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2640 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-10610U. 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 i7-10610U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
