Intel Xeon E5-2680 v2 vs Intel Xeon E5-2695 v2

Xeon E5-2680 v2 vs Xeon E5-2695 v2 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2695 v2 performs better than the Xeon E5-2680 v2. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2680 v2 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2695 v2 has slightly more cores than the Xeon E5-2680 v2. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2695 v2 has 12 cores compared to 10 cores found in the Xeon E5-2680 v2. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2680 v2. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2680 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2695 v2. Also, the Xeon E5-2680 v2 has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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 E5-2680 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
