Xeon E5-2696 v3 vs Xeon W-2145 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2696 v3 performs better than the Xeon W-2145. Despite this, the Xeon W-2145 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2696 v3 has significantly more cores than the Xeon W-2145. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2696 v3 has 18 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Xeon W-2145. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2145. The Xeon W-2145 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.
