Xeon E5-2696 v3 vs Xeon W-2155 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon W-2155 is faster than the Xeon E5-2696 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2696 v3 in all gaming tests too.

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 W-2155 that has 10 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2155. The Xeon W-2155 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.
