Xeon E5-2678 v3 vs Xeon W-2133 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2678 v3 performs better than the Xeon W-2133. Despite this, the Xeon W-2133 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2678 v3 has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Xeon W-2133 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2133. A Xeon E5-2678 v3 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W-2133 CPU because of its slightly 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 E5-2678 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
