Xeon E5-2673 v4 vs Xeon E5-2660 v4 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2673 v4 beats the Xeon E5-2660 v4 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2673 v4 has many more cores with 20 cores whereas the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has 14 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2660 v4. The Xeon E5-2660 v4 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2673 v4 thanks to a slightly 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 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
