Intel Xeon E5-1650 v4 vs Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4

Xeon E5-1650 v4 vs Xeon E5-2690 v4 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 is faster than the Xeon E5-1650 v4. Despite this, the Xeon E5-1650 v4 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Xeon E5-1650 v4 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-1650 v4. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1650 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2690 v4. Also, the Xeon E5-1650 v4 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-2690 v4 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1650 v4 thanks to a 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.
