Xeon Silver 4210R vs Core i5-12500H benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon Silver 4210R is faster than the Core i5-12500H. Despite this, the Core i5-12500H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-12500H has slightly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Xeon Silver 4210R that has 10 cores. Despite this, the Xeon Silver 4210R has more threads than the Core i5-12500H. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-12500H has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon Silver 4210R. Also, the Core i5-12500H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-12500H 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.
