Intel Xeon E5-2650 vs Intel Xeon W3680

Xeon E5-2650 vs Xeon W3680 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W3680 is faster than the Xeon E5-2650. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2650 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2650 has slightly more cores than the Xeon W3680. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2650 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon W3680. It also has more threads than the Xeon W3680. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W3680 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2650. Also, the Xeon W3680 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E5-2650 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W3680 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 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
