Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 vs Intel Xeon E5-2643 v2

Xeon E5-2630 v3 vs Xeon E5-2643 v2 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2630 v3 performs better than the Xeon E5-2643 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2643 v2 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2630 v3 has slightly more cores than the Xeon E5-2643 v2. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2630 v3 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon E5-2643 v2. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2643 v2. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2643 v2 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2630 v3. Also, the Xeon E5-2643 v2 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2643 v2 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2630 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
