Intel Xeon E5-2690 vs Intel Xeon Silver 4110

Xeon E5-2690 vs Xeon Silver 4110 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2690 performs better than the Xeon Silver 4110. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon Silver 4110 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2690 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Silver 4110. Also, the Xeon E5-2690 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon Silver 4110 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.
