Xeon E5-2689 vs Xeon E5-2687W comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2689 beats the Xeon E5-2687W in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2687W has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. A Xeon E5-2689 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2687W 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 E5-2689 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
