Xeon E5-2690 v2 vs Xeon W-2135 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W-2135 is faster than the Xeon E5-2690 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2690 v2 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2690 v2 has significantly more cores with 10 cores whereas the Xeon W-2135 has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2135. Our comparison shows that the Xeon W-2135 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2690 v2. Also, the Xeon W-2135 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E5-2690 v2 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon W-2135 CPU because of its 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.
