Ryzen 5 1600X vs Xeon E5-2690 specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 1600X performs better than the Xeon E5-2690. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2690 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2690 has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 5 1600X. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2690 has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 1600X. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 1600X. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 1600X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2690. A Ryzen 5 1600X CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2690 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
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 1600X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
