Ryzen 7 1700X vs Xeon E5-2660 v4 specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2660 v4 performs better than the Ryzen 7 1700X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 1700X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 1700X. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has 14 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 1700X. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 1700X. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 1700X has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2660 v4. Also, the Ryzen 7 1700X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 1700X CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 1700X has slightly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E5-2660 v4. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2660 v4 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 1700X.
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 1700X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
