Ryzen 7 5700G vs Xeon E5-2696 v3 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E5-2696 v3 beats the Ryzen 7 5700G in overall performance. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5700G has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2696 v3 has significantly more cores with 18 cores compared to the Ryzen 7 5700G that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 7 5700G. A Ryzen 7 5700G CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon E5-2696 v3 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 5700G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
