Xeon E5-2650 v4 vs Xeon E5-2678 v3 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2678 v3 is faster than the Xeon E5-2650 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2650 v4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. A Xeon E5-2650 v4 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2678 v3 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 E5-2650 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
