Xeon E-2176M vs Xeon E5-2690 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2690 is faster than the Xeon E-2176M. Despite this, the Xeon E-2176M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2690 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Xeon E-2176M that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E-2176M. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2690 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 E5-2690 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.
