Ryzen 5 3500 vs Xeon E5-2697 v2 specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 3500 performs better than the Xeon E5-2697 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2697 v2 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2697 v2 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 5 3500. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2697 v2 has 12 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Ryzen 5 3500. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2697 v2. A Ryzen 5 3500 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2697 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.
