Intel Xeon E5-2690 v2 vs Intel Xeon W-2133

Xeon E5-2690 v2 vs Xeon W-2133 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2690 v2 performs better than the Xeon W-2133. Despite this, the Xeon W-2133 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has significantly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Xeon W-2133 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2133. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W-2133 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2690 v2. Also, the Xeon W-2133 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E5-2690 v2 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.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
