Xeon E5-1650 vs Xeon E5-2620 v3 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2620 v3 is faster than the Xeon E5-1650. Despite this, the Xeon E5-1650 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2620 v3. Also, the Xeon E5-1650 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-2620 v3 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1650 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 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
