Xeon E5-2640 v3 vs Xeon W-10855M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 is faster than the Xeon W-10855M. Despite this, the Xeon W-10855M has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Xeon W-10855M has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-10855M. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W-10855M has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2640 v3. Also, the Xeon W-10855M has a significantly higher turbo speed. The Xeon W-10855M outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2640 v3 thanks to a significantly 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 E5-2640 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
