Core i7-10700T vs Xeon E5-2640 v3 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 beats the Core i7-10700T in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-10700T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-10700T. Despite this, the Core i7-10700T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10700T CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2640 v3 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 i7-10700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
