Ryzen 5 3500 vs Xeon E5-2667 v2 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2667 v2 is faster than the Ryzen 5 3500. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 3500 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2667 v2 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 3500 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3500. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 3500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2667 v2. A Ryzen 5 3500 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.

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. For instance, the Ryzen 5 3500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
