Ryzen 5 3400G vs Xeon E5-1660 v4 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-1660 v4 is faster than the Ryzen 5 3400G. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3400G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

With info from our database, we find that the Xeon E5-1660 v4 has significantly more cores with 8 cores whereas the Ryzen 5 3400G has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3400G. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 3400G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-1660 v4. Also, the Ryzen 5 3400G has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3400G CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1660 v4 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 3400G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
