Intel Xeon E5-2689 vs Intel Xeon W-2133

Xeon E5-2689 vs Xeon W-2133 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon W-2133 beats the Xeon E5-2689 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2689 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2689 has slightly more cores than the Xeon W-2133. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2689 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon W-2133. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2133. A Xeon E5-2689 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W-2133 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.
