Xeon E5-2660 v2 vs Xeon W-2123 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2660 v2 is faster than the Xeon W-2123. Despite this, the Xeon W-2123 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2660 v2 has significantly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Xeon W-2123 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2123. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon W-2123 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2660 v2. Also, the Xeon W-2123 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E5-2660 v2 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W-2123 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2660 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
