Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 vs Intel Xeon Silver 4210R

Xeon E5-2680 v3 vs Xeon Silver 4210R benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon Silver 4210R performs better than the Xeon E5-2680 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2680 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2680 v3 has slightly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Xeon Silver 4210R that has 10 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon Silver 4210R. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2680 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Silver 4210R. Also, the Xeon E5-2680 v3 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon Silver 4210R outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2680 v3 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2680 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
