Xeon E5-2673 v4 vs Xeon E5-2690 v3 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2690 v3 performs better than the Xeon E5-2673 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2673 v4 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2673 v4 has significantly more cores with 20 cores whereas the Xeon E5-2690 v3 has 12 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2690 v3. 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.

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 E5-2673 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
