Intel Xeon E-2176M vs Intel Xeon E5-2650 v2

Xeon E-2176M vs Xeon E5-2650 v2 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2650 v2 beats the Xeon E-2176M in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon E-2176M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2650 v2 has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Xeon E-2176M has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E-2176M. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E-2176M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2650 v2. Also, the Xeon E-2176M has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E-2176M CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2650 v2 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.
