Xeon E5-2637 v3 vs Xeon X5647 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon X5647 beats the Xeon E5-2637 v3 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2637 v3 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. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2637 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon X5647. Also, the Xeon E5-2637 v3 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon X5647 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.
