Xeon E5-1650 v3 vs Xeon E5-2620 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-1650 v3 is faster than the Xeon E5-2620. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2620 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1650 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2620. Also, the Xeon E5-1650 v3 has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-2620 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1650 v3 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 E5-1650 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
