Core i9-7900X vs Xeon Silver 4210R comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-7900X is faster than the Xeon Silver 4210R. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon Silver 4210R in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i9-7900X has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon Silver 4210R. Also, the Core i9-7900X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon Silver 4210R outputs less heat than Core i9-7900X thanks to a slightly 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 i9-7900X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
