Xeon E5-2667 v4 vs Xeon Gold 6226R specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon Gold 6226R beats the Xeon E5-2667 v4 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2667 v4 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon Gold 6226R has significantly more cores with 16 cores compared to the Xeon E5-2667 v4 that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2667 v4. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2667 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Gold 6226R. Despite this, the Xeon Gold 6226R has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E5-2667 v4 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon Gold 6226R 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 E5-2667 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
