Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 vs Intel Xeon E5-2667 v2

Xeon E5-2630 v3 vs Xeon E5-2667 v2 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2630 v3 is faster than the Xeon E5-2667 v2. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2667 v2 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 E5-2667 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2630 v3. Also, the Xeon E5-2667 v2 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2667 v2 CPU because of its significantly 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 E5-2630 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
