Xeon E-2186M vs Xeon E5-2690 v2 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2690 v2 beats the Xeon E-2186M in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon E-2186M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Xeon E-2186M that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E-2186M. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E-2186M. Despite this, the Xeon E-2186M has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E-2186M CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2690 v2 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Xeon E-2186M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
