Intel Core i7-10875H vs Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3

Core i7-10875H vs Xeon E5-2660 v3 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-10875H performs better than the Xeon E5-2660 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2660 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2660 v3 has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i7-10875H that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-10875H. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2660 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10875H. Despite this, the Core i7-10875H has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-10875H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2660 v3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-10875H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
