Xeon E5-1620 v2 vs Xeon E5-430 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-1620 v2 beats the Xeon E5-430 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-430 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Xeon E5-1620 v2 has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-1620 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-430. The Xeon E5-430 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1620 v2 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. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1620 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
