Xeon E5-1660 vs Xeon E5-1660 v3 specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-1660 v3 is faster than the Xeon E5-1660. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1660 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-1660 v3 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Xeon E5-1660 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-1660. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-1660 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-1660 v3. Also, the Xeon E5-1660 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E5-1660 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1660 v3 CPU because of its 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 E5-1660 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
