Ryzen 7 2700 vs Xeon E5-2667 v4 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 2700 beats the Xeon E5-2667 v4 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2667 v4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. In terms of clock speed, the Ryzen 7 2700 and Xeon E5-2667 v4 are identical in this regard. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 2700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 2700 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 2700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
