Intel Core i7-10750H vs Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3

Core i7-10750H vs Xeon E5-2640 v3 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 beats the Core i7-10750H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-10750H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i7-10750H that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-10750H. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-10750H. Despite this, the Core i7-10750H has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10750H 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 i7-10750H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
