Xeon E5-2640 v3 vs Xeon E5-2673 v4 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2673 v4 is faster than the Xeon E5-2640 v3. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2673 v4 has significantly more cores with 20 cores compared to the Xeon E5-2640 v3 that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2640 v3. A Xeon E5-2640 v3 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2673 v4 CPU because of its significantly 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 E5-2640 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
