Ryzen 5 1400 vs Xeon E5-1620 v4 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-1620 v4 performs better than the Ryzen 5 1400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 1400 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 E5-1620 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 1400. Also, the Xeon E5-1620 v4 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 1400 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1620 v4 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 1400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
