Ryzen 7 2700X vs Xeon E5-2667 v2 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2667 v2 is faster than the Ryzen 7 2700X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 2700X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 2700X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2667 v2. Also, the Ryzen 7 2700X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 2700X 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 2700X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
