Ryzen 7 2700X vs Xeon E5-2470 v2 benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 7 2700X performs better than the Xeon E5-2470 v2. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2470 v2 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2470 v2 has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 7 2700X. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2470 v2 has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 2700X. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 2700X. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 2700X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2470 v2. Also, the Ryzen 7 2700X has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E5-2470 v2 outputs less heat than Ryzen 7 2700X thanks to a 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 2700X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
