Ryzen 7 2700X vs Xeon E5-2690 v3 comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2690 v3 performs better than the Ryzen 7 2700X. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 2700X has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2690 v3 has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 2700X that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 2700X. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 2700X has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2690 v3. Also, the Ryzen 7 2700X has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 2700X CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2690 v3 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.
