Xeon E5-2676 v3 vs Xeon E5-2697 v2 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2676 v3 performs better than the Xeon E5-2697 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2697 v2 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. A Xeon E5-2676 v3 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2697 v2 CPU because of its 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 E5-2676 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
