Xeon E5-2673 v3 vs Xeon E5-2687W v3 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2673 v3 beats the Xeon E5-2687W v3 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2673 v3 has slightly more cores with 12 cores whereas the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has 10 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2687W v3. A Xeon E5-2673 v3 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2687W v3 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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 E5-2673 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
