Ryzen 7 1700 vs Xeon E-2146G specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 1700 beats the Xeon E-2146G in overall performance. Despite this, the Xeon E-2146G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 1700 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Xeon E-2146G that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E-2146G. Our comparison shows that the Xeon E-2146G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 1700. Also, the Xeon E-2146G has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 1700 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E-2146G CPU because of its slightly 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 7 1700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
