Xeon E5-2637 v3 vs Xeon W-2125 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2637 v3 performs better than the Xeon W-2125. Despite this, the Xeon W-2125 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W-2125 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2637 v3. Also, the Xeon W-2125 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon W-2125 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.

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 E5-2637 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
