Xeon E5-2650 v4 vs Xeon E5-2689 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2650 v4 is faster than the Xeon E5-2689. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2689 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2650 v4 has significantly more cores with 12 cores whereas the Xeon E5-2689 has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2689. A Xeon E5-2650 v4 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2689 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.
