Intel Xeon E5-2690 v2 vs Intel Xeon Silver 4114

Xeon E5-2690 v2 vs Xeon Silver 4114 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2690 v2 performs better than the Xeon Silver 4114. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon Silver 4114 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Silver 4114. Also, the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon Silver 4114 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2690 v2 thanks to a significantly 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 E5-2690 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
