Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 vs AMD Custom 0405

Xeon E5-2660 v3 vs Custom 0405 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Custom 0405 beats the Xeon E5-2660 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2660 v3 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2660 v3 has significantly more cores than the Custom 0405. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2660 v3 has 10 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Custom 0405. It also has more threads than the Custom 0405. Our comparison shows that the Custom 0405 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2660 v3.

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 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
