Intel Xeon E5-2690 v2 vs Intel Xeon W-2125

Xeon E5-2690 v2 vs Xeon W-2125 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2690 v2 beats the Xeon W-2125 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon W-2125 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has significantly more cores than the Xeon W-2125. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has 10 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Xeon W-2125. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2125. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W-2125 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2690 v2. Also, the Xeon W-2125 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon W-2125 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2690 v2 thanks to a 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 E5-2690 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
