Intel Xeon E5-2620 vs Intel Xeon X5647

Xeon E5-2620 vs Xeon X5647 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X5647 is faster than the Xeon E5-2620. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2620 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2620 has significantly more cores than the Xeon X5647. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2620 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon X5647. It also has more threads than the Xeon X5647. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon X5647 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2620. Also, the Xeon X5647 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E5-2620 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5647 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 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
