Ryzen 7 1700 vs Xeon E5-2667 v4 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2667 v4 performs better than the Ryzen 7 1700. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 1700 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2667 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 1700. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 1700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 1700 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.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 1700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
