Xeon E5-2643 v2 vs Xeon W-2123 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2643 v2 performs better than the Xeon W-2123. Despite this, the Xeon W-2123 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2643 v2 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Xeon W-2123 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2123. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-2123 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2643 v2. Also, the Xeon W-2123 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon W-2123 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2643 v2 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 E5-2643 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
