Ryzen 5 1400 vs Xeon E3-1230 V2 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 1400 performs better than the Xeon E3-1230 V2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1230 V2 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1230 V2 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 1400. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 1400 has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E3-1230 V2. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 1400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
