Xeon E5-1603 vs Xeon X5570 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X5570 is faster than the Xeon E5-1603. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1603 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 X5570 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1603 thanks to a slightly 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. For instance, the Xeon E5-1603 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
