Intel Xeon E5-2670 vs Intel Xeon E3-1245 v5

Xeon E5-2670 vs Xeon E3-1245 v5 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1245 v5 beats the Xeon E5-2670 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2670 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2670 has significantly more cores than the Xeon E3-1245 v5. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2670 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon E3-1245 v5. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1245 v5. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2670. Also, the Xeon E3-1245 v5 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E3-1245 v5 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2670 thanks to a significantly 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 E5-2670 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
