Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 vs Intel Xeon X5670

Xeon E5-2620 v3 vs Xeon X5670 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2620 v3 is faster than the Xeon X5670. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5670 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon X5670 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2620 v3. Also, the Xeon X5670 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E5-2620 v3 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5670 CPU because of its 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 E5-2620 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
