Intel Xeon E5-2687W vs Intel Core 5 210H

Xeon E5-2687W vs Core 5 210H specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core 5 210H beats the Xeon E5-2687W in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2687W in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Xeon E5-2687W has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2687W has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core 5 210H. Despite this, the Core 5 210H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core 5 210H has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E5-2687W. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2687W has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core 5 210H.

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 E5-2687W has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
