Xeon E5-2696 v3 vs Xeon Gold 6128 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2696 v3 beats the Xeon Gold 6128 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon Gold 6128 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2696 v3 has significantly more cores with 18 cores compared to the Xeon Gold 6128 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon Gold 6128. The Xeon Gold 6128 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2696 v3 thanks to a 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 E5-2696 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
