Xeon E5-1620 v2 vs Xeon E5-620 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-620 performs better than the Xeon E5-1620 v2. Despite this, the Xeon E5-1620 v2 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. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-1620 v2 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-620. Also, the Xeon E5-1620 v2 has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-620 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.

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 E5-1620 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
