Xeon E5-2620 vs Xeon W3680 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2620 performs better than the Xeon W3680. Despite this, the Xeon W3680 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W3680 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2620. Also, the Xeon W3680 has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E5-2620 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W3680 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 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
