Xeon E5-2640 v3 vs Xeon W-2135 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W-2135 is faster than the Xeon E5-2640 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2640 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has slightly more cores than the Xeon W-2135. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2640 v3 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon W-2135. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2135. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-2135 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2640 v3. Also, the Xeon W-2135 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E5-2640 v3 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W-2135 CPU because of its 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.
