Intel Core i7-8700 vs Intel Xeon Silver 4210R

Core i7-8700 vs Xeon Silver 4210R benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon Silver 4210R is faster than the Core i7-8700. Despite this, the Core i7-8700 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon Silver 4210R has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i7-8700 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-8700. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-8700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Silver 4210R. Also, the Core i7-8700 has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8700 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 i7-8700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
