Xeon E5-2620 v3 vs Xeon W-2123 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W-2123 is faster than the Xeon E5-2620 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2620 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2620 v3 has significantly more cores than the Xeon W-2123. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2620 v3 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon W-2123. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2123. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-2123 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2620 v3. Also, the Xeon W-2123 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E5-2620 v3 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W-2123 CPU because of its 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 E5-2620 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
