According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 1600 is faster than the Xeon E5-2687W. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2687W in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2687W has slightly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 1600 has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 1600. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 1600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2687W. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2687W has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 1600 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2687W CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 1600 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E5-2687W. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2687W has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 5 1600.

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 1600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
