Intel Core i7-12700 vs Intel Xeon Silver 4210R

Core i7-12700 vs Xeon Silver 4210R comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-12700 beats the Xeon Silver 4210R in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon Silver 4210R in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-12700 has slightly more cores than the Xeon Silver 4210R. Indeed, the Core i7-12700 has 12 cores compared to 10 cores found in the Xeon Silver 4210R. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-12700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Silver 4210R. Also, the Core i7-12700 has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-12700 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon Silver 4210R 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 i7-12700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
