Xeon E5-2697 v3 vs Xeon Gold 6128 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon Gold 6128 is faster than the Xeon E5-2697 v3. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2697 v3 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2697 v3 has significantly more cores with 14 cores compared to the Xeon Gold 6128 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon Gold 6128. Our comparison shows that the Xeon Gold 6128 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2697 v3. Also, the Xeon Gold 6128 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon Gold 6128 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2697 v3 thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2697 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
