Intel Xeon E5-2670 v2 vs Intel Core 5 210H

Xeon E5-2670 v2 vs Core 5 210H specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2670 v2 beats the Core 5 210H in overall performance. Despite this, the Core 5 210H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2670 v2 has slightly more cores than the Core 5 210H. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2670 v2 has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core 5 210H. It also has more threads than the Core 5 210H. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2670 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 5 210H. Despite this, the Core 5 210H has a significantly 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 E5-2670 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
