Xeon E5-1660 v4 vs Xeon W-2223 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-1660 v4 is faster than the Xeon W-2223. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W-2223 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-1660 v4 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Xeon W-2223 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2223. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W-2223 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-1660 v4. Also, the Xeon W-2223 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon W-2223 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.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1660 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
