Xeon E5-2643 vs Custom 0405 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Custom 0405 is faster than the Xeon E5-2643. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2643 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2643 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Custom 0405.

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 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
