Intel Xeon E5-1650 v4 vs Intel Xeon E5-2687W

Xeon E5-1650 v4 vs Xeon E5-2687W comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-1650 v4 beats the Xeon E5-2687W in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2687W in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2687W has slightly more cores than the Xeon E5-1650 v4. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon E5-1650 v4. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-1650 v4. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-1650 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2687W. Also, the Xeon E5-1650 v4 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E5-1650 v4 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2687W CPU because of its 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. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1650 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
