Xeon E5-2637 v3 vs Xeon E5-2660 benchmarks
In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2660 beats the Xeon E5-2637 v3 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2637 v3 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2660 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Xeon E5-2637 v3 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2637 v3. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2637 v3 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2660. Also, the Xeon E5-2637 v3 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-2660 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2637 v3 thanks to a slightly 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 E5-2637 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
