Xeon E5-2690 vs Xeon E3-1535M v6 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2690 is faster than the Xeon E3-1535M v6. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1535M v6 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2690 has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Xeon E3-1535M v6 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E3-1535M v6. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1535M v6 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2690. Also, the Xeon E3-1535M v6 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E3-1535M v6 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2690 thanks to a significantly 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 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
