Ryzen 5 1400 vs Xeon E3-1240 v3 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 1400 beats the Xeon E3-1240 v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E3-1240 v3 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E3-1240 v3 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 1400. Also, the Xeon E3-1240 v3 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 1400 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1240 v3 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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.
