Intel Xeon E5-1650 vs Intel Xeon E5-2660

Xeon E5-1650 vs Xeon E5-2660 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-1650 is faster than the Xeon E5-2660. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2660 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2660 has slightly more cores than the Xeon E5-1650. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2660 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon E5-1650. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-1650. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-1650 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2660. Also, the Xeon E5-1650 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-2660 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1650 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1650 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
