AMD Ryzen 5 1400 vs Intel Xeon E3-1270 v6

Ryzen 5 1400 vs Xeon E3-1270 v6 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1270 v6 beats the Ryzen 5 1400 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 1400 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E3-1270 v6 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 1400. Also, the Xeon E3-1270 v6 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 1400 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E3-1270 v6 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 1400 has significantly more L2 cache than the Xeon E3-1270 v6. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 1400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
