Core i7-10870H vs Xeon E5-2690 v2 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-10870H is faster than the Xeon E5-2690 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2690 v2 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has slightly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Core i7-10870H has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-10870H. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i7-10870H. Despite this, the Core i7-10870H has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10870H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2690 v2 CPU because of its 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 i7-10870H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
