Xeon E5-1603 vs Athlon X4 950 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-1603 performs better than the Athlon X4 950. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon X4 950 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. The Athlon X4 950 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1603 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Xeon E5-1603 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
