Intel Xeon E5-1660 v3 vs Intel Xeon W-2133

Xeon E5-1660 v3 vs Xeon W-2133 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon W-2133 performs better than the Xeon E5-1660 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1660 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-1660 v3 has slightly more cores than the Xeon W-2133. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1660 v3 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon W-2133. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2133. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W-2133 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-1660 v3. Also, the Xeon W-2133 has a slightly higher 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.

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 E5-1660 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
