Intel Xeon Silver 4114 vs Intel Xeon E5-2687W

Xeon Silver 4114 vs Xeon E5-2687W specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2687W beats the Xeon Silver 4114 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon Silver 4114 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon Silver 4114 has slightly more cores than the Xeon E5-2687W. Indeed, the Xeon Silver 4114 has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Xeon E5-2687W. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-2687W. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon Silver 4114. Also, the Xeon E5-2687W has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon Silver 4114 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2687W CPU because of its significantly 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 Silver 4114 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
