Intel Xeon E5-2667 v3 vs Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3: comparison

Comparison of Intel Xeon E5-2667 v3 and Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Xeon E5-2667 v3 has a higher base clock (3.2 GHz vs 2.5 GHz) and a higher maximum clock (3.6 GHz vs 3.3 GHz).

At the same time, Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 has more cores (12 vs 8), more threads (24 vs 16), a larger L3 cache (30 MB vs 20 MB) and a lower TDP (120 W vs 135 W).

Both processors match on: process node (22 nm), maximum memory size (768 GB), memory channels (4), PCIe version (3).

These are specification values: they show differences between the models but do not determine a performance winner. For a specific workload, rely on independent benchmarks.
