According to the details, these CPUs appear quite alike except for their names and TDP values. In terms of gaming, rendering, and multitasking, which one performs better depends on your specific needs and system configuration.

the results will be alike mainly based on the cost and fit of your motherboard (for instance, if you're purchasing Chinese X99 models)

The 2676 V3 offers a larger power allowance, potentially delivering a 1-2% improvement. It’s a solid choice, but it’s becoming less common now. Classic Haswell remains a reliable option.

Absolutely, only at that tiny frequency range matters, otherwise it won’t have much impact. It depends on what I mentioned earlier. Edited September 28, 2022 by GorujoCY

If you're including it in a Chinese salvage mobile, opt for the lower wattage model—these boards can be unpredictable when it comes to load capacity.

Their varying power budget limits mean even identical clocks could show small differences in performance. Likely just a tiny amount.

IPC depends on more than just the voltage limit. Architecture plays a key role. A higher TDP usually changes clock speed, but doesn't impact Instructions Per Clock.

That is a valid point. I guess, one is more efficient than the other? Xeons are locked down, at least the Haswell based ones are, so there's no extending turbo duration or anything, so what you get is what you get with these chips.
