Xeon Silver 4210R vs Core i5-12490F benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12490F is faster than the Xeon Silver 4210R. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon Silver 4210R in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon Silver 4210R has significantly more cores than the Core i5-12490F. Indeed, the Xeon Silver 4210R has 10 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-12490F. It also has more threads than the Core i5-12490F. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-12490F has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon Silver 4210R. Also, the Core i5-12490F has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-12490F outputs less heat than Xeon Silver 4210R thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 Silver 4210R has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
