Xeon E5-2689 vs Xeon E5-2699 v3 specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2699 v3 performs better than the Xeon E5-2689. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2689 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2699 v3 has significantly more cores with 18 cores compared to the Xeon E5-2689 that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2689. A Xeon E5-2689 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2699 v3 CPU because of its 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 E5-2689 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
