Intel Xeon E5-2640 v4 vs Intel Core 5 210H

Xeon E5-2640 v4 vs Core 5 210H comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2640 v4 is faster than the Core 5 210H. Despite this, the Core 5 210H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2640 v4 has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Core 5 210H that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core 5 210H. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2640 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 5 210H. Despite this, the Core 5 210H 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 E5-2640 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
