Intel Xeon E-2176M vs Intel Xeon E5-2620

Xeon E-2176M vs Xeon E5-2620 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E-2176M beats the Xeon E5-2620 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2620 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E-2176M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2620. Also, the Xeon E-2176M has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E-2176M CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2620 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 E-2176M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
