Intel Xeon E5-2470 v2 vs Intel Core i3-13100

Xeon E5-2470 v2 vs Core i3-13100 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2470 v2 beats the Core i3-13100 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i3-13100 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2470 v2 has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core i3-13100 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i3-13100. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i3-13100 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2470 v2. Also, the Core i3-13100 has a slightly higher turbo speed.

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 Xeon E5-2470 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
