Intel Core i9-10885H vs Intel Xeon E5-2650 v2

Core i9-10885H vs Xeon E5-2650 v2 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2650 v2 performs better than the Core i9-10885H. Despite this, the Core i9-10885H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 E5-2650 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-10885H. Despite this, the Core i9-10885H has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i9-10885H CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2650 v2 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 i9-10885H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
