Ryzen 3 1300X vs Xeon E5-2687W specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2687W is faster than the Ryzen 3 1300X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 3 1300X in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2687W has significantly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Ryzen 3 1300X has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 3 1300X. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 1300X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2687W. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2687W has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 3 1300X CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2687W CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Xeon E5-2687W also has significantly more L3 cache.

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. For instance, the Ryzen 3 1300X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
