Intel Core i7-10700 vs Intel Xeon E3-1245 v5

Core i7-10700 vs Xeon E3-1245 v5 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-10700 is faster than the Xeon E3-1245 v5. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1245 v5 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-10700 has significantly more cores than the Xeon E3-1245 v5. Indeed, the Core i7-10700 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon E3-1245 v5. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1245 v5. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10700. Despite this, the Core i7-10700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10700 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1245 v5 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i7-10700 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E3-1245 v5. The Core i7-10700 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i7-10700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
