Xeon E5-2699 v3 vs Xeon Gold 6226R specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon Gold 6226R performs better than the Xeon E5-2699 v3. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2699 v3 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2699 v3 has slightly more cores than the Xeon Gold 6226R. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2699 v3 has 18 cores compared to 16 cores found in the Xeon Gold 6226R. It also has more threads than the Xeon Gold 6226R. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon Gold 6226R has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2699 v3. Also, the Xeon Gold 6226R has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon E5-2699 v3 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon Gold 6226R CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2699 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
