Core i7-10700K vs Xeon E5-2630 v4 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-10700K is faster than the Xeon E5-2630 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2630 v4 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2630 v4 has slightly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Core i7-10700K has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-10700K. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-10700K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2630 v4. Also, the Core i7-10700K has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-2630 v4 outputs less heat than Core i7-10700K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i7-10700K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
