AMD Ryzen 5 1500X vs Intel Xeon E5-2667 v2

Ryzen 5 1500X vs Xeon E5-2667 v2 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2667 v2 performs better than the Ryzen 5 1500X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 5 1500X in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2667 v2 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 1500X. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2667 v2 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Ryzen 5 1500X. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 1500X. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 1500X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2667 v2. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2667 v2 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 1500X CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2667 v2 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 1500X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
