Intel Xeon E-2276M vs Intel Xeon X5680

Xeon E-2276M vs Xeon X5680 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon X5680 beats the Xeon E-2276M in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon E-2276M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon X5680 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E-2276M. Despite this, the Xeon E-2276M has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E-2276M CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5680 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Xeon E-2276M has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon X5680. The Xeon E-2276M also has significantly more L3 cache.

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-2276M has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
