Xeon E5-1603 v3 vs Xeon X5687 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon X5687 beats the Xeon E5-1603 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1603 v3 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. The Xeon X5687 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1603 v3 thanks to a slightly 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. For instance, the Xeon E5-1603 v3 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
