Intel Xeon E5-2690 vs Intel Core 5 210H

Xeon E5-2690 vs Core 5 210H benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core 5 210H performs better than the Xeon E5-2690. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2690 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Xeon E5-2690 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2690 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core 5 210H. Despite this, the Core 5 210H has a slightly higher turbo speed.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2690 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
