Xeon E5-2680 v4 vs Xeon E5-2695 v2 specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2680 v4 performs better than the Xeon E5-2695 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2695 v2 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2680 v4 has slightly more cores than the Xeon E5-2695 v2. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2680 v4 has 14 cores compared to 12 cores found in the Xeon E5-2695 v2. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2695 v2. Both the Xeon E5-2680 v4 and Xeon E5-2695 v2 have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2680 v4 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-2695 v2 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2680 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 E5-2680 v4 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
