Ryzen 7 3700X vs Xeon E5-2650 v4 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 7 3700X is faster than the Xeon E5-2650 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2650 v4 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2650 v4 has significantly more cores with 12 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 3700X that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 3700X. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 3700X has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon E5-2650 v4. Also, the Ryzen 7 3700X has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 7 3700X CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2650 v4 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 3700X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
