Ryzen 7 2700 vs Xeon E5-1650 v4 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 2700 performs better than the Xeon E5-1650 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-1650 v4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 2700 has slightly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Xeon E5-1650 v4 that has 6 cores. It also has more threads than the Xeon E5-1650 v4. With our hardware info, we find that the Xeon E5-1650 v4 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 7 2700. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 2700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 2700 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-1650 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 7 2700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
