Intel Xeon E5-2640 v4 vs Intel Xeon E5-2650 v2

Xeon E5-2640 v4 vs Xeon E5-2650 v2 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2650 v2 is faster than the Xeon E5-2640 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2640 v4 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2640 v4 has slightly more cores than the Xeon E5-2650 v2. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2640 v4 has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Xeon E5-2650 v2. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2650 v2. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-2650 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2640 v4. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Xeon E5-2640 v4 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2650 v2 CPU because of its 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 E5-2640 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
