Intel Xeon E5-1650 vs Intel Xeon E5-2643 v2

Xeon E5-1650 vs Xeon E5-2643 v2 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2643 v2 performs better than the Xeon E5-1650. Despite this, the Xeon E5-1650 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2643 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-1650. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
