Xeon W-2125 vs Xeon E5-2687W benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2687W performs better than the Xeon W-2125. Despite this, the Xeon W-2125 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2687W has significantly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Xeon W-2125 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon W-2125. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon W-2125 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2687W. Also, the Xeon W-2125 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Xeon W-2125 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2687W 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 W-2125 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
