Intel Xeon E5-2690 v3 vs Intel Xeon W-2133

Xeon E5-2690 v3 vs Xeon W-2133 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2690 v3 beats the Xeon W-2133 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon W-2133 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2690 v3 has significantly more cores than the Xeon W-2133. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2690 v3 has 12 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Xeon W-2133. 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 v3. Also, the Xeon W-2133 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E5-2690 v3 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 E5-2690 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
