Intel Xeon E5-2660 v2 vs Intel Xeon E3-1245 v5

Xeon E5-2660 v2 vs Xeon E3-1245 v5 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2660 v2 is faster than the Xeon E3-1245 v5. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2660 v2 has significantly more cores than the Xeon E3-1245 v5. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2660 v2 has 10 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon E3-1245 v5. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1245 v5. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2660 v2. Also, the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E3-1245 v5 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2660 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 E5-2660 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
