Ryzen 7 2700 vs Xeon E5-2687W v3 specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 2700 beats the Xeon E5-2687W v3 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2687W v3 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has slightly more cores with 10 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 2700 that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 2700. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 2700 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2687W v3. Also, the Ryzen 7 2700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 2700 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2687W v3 CPU because of its significantly 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 2700 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E5-2687W v3. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2687W v3 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 2700.
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.
