Intel Xeon X5570 vs Intel Xeon X5650

Xeon X5570 vs Xeon X5650 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon X5570 beats the Xeon X5650 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5650 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon X5650 has significantly more cores with 6 cores whereas the Xeon X5570 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon X5570. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon X5570 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon X5650. Also, the Xeon X5570 has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Xeon X5650 has more L2 cache than the Xeon X5570. The Xeon X5650 also has significantly more L3 cache.

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. For instance, the Xeon X5570 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
