Xeon E5-2660 v3 vs Xeon E5-2676 v3 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2676 v3 is faster than the Xeon E5-2660 v3. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2660 v3 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2676 v3 has slightly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Xeon E5-2660 v3 that has 10 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2660 v3. A Xeon E5-2660 v3 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2676 v3 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2660 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
