Ryzen 7 2700X vs Xeon E5-2673 v4 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon E5-2673 v4 is faster than the Ryzen 7 2700X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 2700X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Xeon E5-2673 v4 has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 7 2700X. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2673 v4 has 20 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 2700X. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 2700X. A Ryzen 7 2700X CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2673 v4 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.
