Intel Xeon E-2176M vs Intel Xeon E5-2643

Xeon E-2176M vs Xeon E5-2643 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E-2176M performs better than the Xeon E5-2643. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2643 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E-2176M has significantly more cores than the Xeon E5-2643. Indeed, the Xeon E-2176M has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon E5-2643. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2643. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2643 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E-2176M. Despite this, the Xeon E-2176M has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E-2176M CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2643 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.
