Ryzen 5 1400 vs Xeon E5-2620 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2620 beats the Ryzen 5 1400 in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 1400 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2620 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 1400 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 1400. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 1400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2620. Also, the Ryzen 5 1400 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 1400 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2620 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.
