Xeon E5-2670 v3 vs Xeon W-2125 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2670 v3 is faster than the Xeon W-2125. Despite this, the Xeon W-2125 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2670 v3 has significantly more cores than the Xeon W-2125. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2670 v3 has 12 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon W-2125. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2125. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-2125 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2670 v3. Also, the Xeon W-2125 has a significantly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). 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 E5-2670 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
