Xeon E5-2630 v4 vs Xeon E5-2650 v2 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2630 v4 is faster than the Xeon E5-2650 v2. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2650 v2 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2630 v4 has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Xeon E5-2650 v2 that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2650 v2. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2650 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2630 v4. Also, the Xeon E5-2650 v2 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E5-2630 v4 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2650 v2 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 E5-2630 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
