Core i7-10870H vs Xeon E5-2630 v3 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-10870H is faster than the Xeon E5-2630 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2630 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2630 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10870H. Despite this, the Core i7-10870H has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10870H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2630 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 i7-10870H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
