Xeon E5-2630 v4 vs Xeon E5-2670 v2 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2630 v4 is faster than the Xeon E5-2670 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2670 v2 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2670 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2630 v4. Also, the Xeon E5-2670 v2 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E5-2630 v4 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2670 v2 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 E5-2630 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
