Xeon E5-1650 v3 vs Xeon X5670 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X5670 is faster than the Xeon E5-1650 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1650 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-1650 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon X5670. Also, the Xeon E5-1650 v3 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon X5670 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.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1650 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
