Intel Core i7-10700KF vs Intel Xeon E5-2689

Core i7-10700KF vs Xeon E5-2689 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-10700KF is faster than the Xeon E5-2689. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2689 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. The Xeon E5-2689 outputs less heat than Core i7-10700KF thanks to a slightly 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 i7-10700KF has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
