Xeon E5-1660 v4 vs Xeon E5-2689 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-1660 v4 is faster than the Xeon E5-2689. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2689 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. The Xeon E5-2689 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-1660 v4 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 E5-1660 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
