Intel Xeon E5-2689 vs Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4

Xeon E5-2689 vs Xeon E5-2690 v4 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 is faster than the Xeon E5-2689. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2689 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has significantly more cores than the Xeon E5-2689. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2690 v4 has 14 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Xeon E5-2689. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2689. A Xeon E5-2689 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2690 v4 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.
