Xeon E5-2699 v3 vs Xeon W-2155 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2699 v3 beats the Xeon W-2155 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon W-2155 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2699 v3 has significantly more cores with 18 cores whereas the Xeon W-2155 has 10 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2155. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon W-2155 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2699 v3. Also, the Xeon W-2155 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon W-2155 outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2699 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 E5-2699 v3 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
