Xeon E5-1650 vs Xeon W-2123 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon W-2123 performs better than the Xeon E5-1650. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1650 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-1650 has significantly more cores than the Xeon W-2123. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1650 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon W-2123. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2123. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon W-2123 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-1650. Also, the Xeon W-2123 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon W-2123 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.

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.
