Ryzen 5 2600 vs Xeon E5-2673 v3 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2673 v3 performs better than the Ryzen 5 2600. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 2600 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-2673 v3 has significantly more cores with 12 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 2600 has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 2600. A Ryzen 5 2600 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2673 v3 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 2600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
