Intel Xeon E5-2630 vs Intel Xeon E3-1240 V2

Xeon E5-2630 vs Xeon E3-1240 V2 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2630 is faster than the Xeon E3-1240 V2. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1240 V2 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2630 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Xeon E3-1240 V2 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1240 V2. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1240 V2 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2630.

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 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
