Xeon W-2125 vs Xeon E3-1245 v5 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1245 v5 beats the Xeon W-2125 in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon W-2125 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon W-2125 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E3-1245 v5. Also, the Xeon W-2125 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E3-1245 v5 outputs less heat than Xeon W-2125 thanks to a significantly 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 W-2125 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
