Xeon E5-2620 v3 vs Xeon E5-2630 v4 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2630 v4 is faster than the Xeon E5-2620 v3. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2620 v3 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2630 v4 has significantly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Xeon E5-2620 v3 has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2620 v3. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2620 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2630 v4. Also, the Xeon E5-2620 v3 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.

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 E5-2620 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
