AMD Ryzen 7 1800X vs Intel Xeon E5-2667 v2

Ryzen 7 1800X vs Xeon E5-2667 v2 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2667 v2 beats the Ryzen 7 1800X in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 1800X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 1800X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2667 v2. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. A Ryzen 7 1800X CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2667 v2 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 1800X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
