AMD Ryzen 5 3600 vs Intel Xeon E5-2667 v4

Ryzen 5 3600 vs Xeon E5-2667 v4 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 3600 is faster than the Xeon E5-2667 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2667 v4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2667 v4 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 3600 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 3600. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 3600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2667 v4. Also, the Ryzen 5 3600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3600 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2667 v4 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 3600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
